Read about microwave-based aircraft tracking and the future of air traffic control in the December 2024 issue of IEEE Microwave Magazine! Aircraft Surveillance From Space: The Future of Air Traffic Control?: Space-Based ADS-B, Status, Challenges and Opportunities By: Jan Budroweit , Felix Eichstaedt and Toni Delovski Space-based ADS-B aircraft surveillance promises to improve probability of detection and enables aircraft positioning over oceans and uncontrolled airspace when an ADS-B ground receiver is not in range, but this space-based service comes with challenges.     https://lnkd.in/e3R4fXmv #MicrowaveTechnology #Innovation #MicrowaveMagazine #IEEEMicrowaveMagazine #MicrowaveEngineering #DecemberIssue #RWW #RadioWirelessWeek #RadioandWirelessWeek #ADS-B #ATC #AircraftTracking #AircraftSurveillance

The NOAA has issued warnings for a solar event which will impact us tomorrow during the day. Any calls for isolated events of GPS loss, radio static, loss of signal etc during this time are likely due to the space weather and not malfunctioning avionics equipment. Just a heads up. Impact times are showing between 0800UTC (0300CDT) and 2200UTC (1700CDT). https://lnkd.in/gngZ3WMD

Do you know that satellite data can be used to detect the speed of ships and airplanes? This and more applications of satellite remote sensing data that even you may not have heard of. https://lnkd.in/eXqGgQ-9 #earthobservation #remotesensing #shipdetection #airplane

🔥 Our upcoming webinar will explore state-of-the-art technologies for #contrail detection and monitoring, providing valuable insights for airlines looking to reduce their overall climate impact. 🛫 Modern airplanes flying at high altitudes create longer-lived contrails than older ones, while contrail detection and observation can serve as avenues for minimizing contrail production without significantly impacting operations, and help reduce the environmental footprint of the #aviation sector. 💡 To further industry knowledge on this critical topic, Dinesh Sanekommu from Google and Sarah Vadillo-Quesada from Reuniwatt will be presenting state-of-the-art contrails observation techniques using #satellites and #skycams. 📅 Our speakers, together with moderator Philippe Very from EUROCONTROL, are inviting you to ask them your questions on October 10, 2024.

When television news stations discuss weather, they use the readings from some of the 3,300 public-use airports around the United States. Gale worked with the Mansfield Municipal Airport in Massachusetts on an airport safety project with an AWOS III System, providing real-time weather that provides aircraft operators, aircraft owners, and airport authorities to broadcast up-to-the-minute current weather. An AWOS III is an FAA-certified, ICAO/WMO (International Civil Aviation Organization / World Meteorological Organization) Compliant Automated Weather Observing System for meteorological reporting at airports. These systems include: Dual barometric pressure /altimeter sensors. Wind speed and direction. Temperature/relative humidity and dewpoint. Visibility/precipitation identification. Hail and ice pellet detection. Freezing rain detection. Fully automated report generation with manual augmentation. VHF ground-to-air broadcast. Voice reports via telephone. UHF data link, optical fiber, or hard-wired communication. AWOS Live real-time web display. This project was funded 100% by MassDOT Aeronautics, engineered by Gale Associates, and constructed by Cullen Electrical Contractors of Marshfield, MA.

🚀 Unlocking the Skies with Radar Observation in Aviation! ✈️ Radar observation charts, often referred to simply as radar charts, are graphical representations of weather data collected by ground-based radar stations. These charts display a range of meteorological phenomena, including precipitation, thunderstorms, and frontal boundaries. By analyzing these charts, pilots gain crucial insights into the current weather conditions along their flight path.

https://lnkd.in/gayZ_JzX There are few information systems more important to modern life than Global Navigation Satellite Systems. The OG GNSS was the US’s GPS. This article does a good job explaining what it is, how it works, and how it has become dated and fragile.

Keep safe in demanding times! With the growing threat of GNSS jamming, spoofing and world conflicts, advanced technology for navigation and communication is vulnerable to disruption. That's where HF radio air to ground communication comes in. HF radio is reliable and stable, and it cannot be jammed. While some pilots may consider HF radio old school, it remains a crucial communication channel for safe and secure air travel. Stockholmradio (STORADIO) offers a reliable HF radio service with a quick and easy sign-up process, affordable rates, and 24/7 availability. Learn more about our services at www.storadio.aero. Understanding GNSS Jamming and Spoofing: GNSS jamming involves deliberate interference with satellite signals, disrupting communication between satellites and the aircraft's navigation system. Spoofing, on the other hand, involves transmitting false signals to deceive the GNSS receivers on board an aircraft. Both threats can compromise the integrity of the navigation system, jeopardizing the safety of flights. Stay informed and stay safe.
