ABSTRACT
A new system was demonstrated as a prototype that provides the advantages
of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) for the military,
yet totally avoids military aircraft modifications. The system was demonstrated
on operational United States Air Force (USAF) aircraft using ADS-B equipped
general aviation aircraft as the source. The demonstration was conducted
in 2003. The result of the demonstration was highly positive commentary
from engineers and the pilots. Although significant work remains prior
to full fielding and operations, a decision was made to incorporate
the prototype into a future datalinks concept.
