ADS/B will work well for the airlines, and I would guess ground
controllers will be pleased with the additional information. But what
about military aircraft?
What about military aircraft? (btw - you might want to ask about ALL
non-civilian aircraft, foreign and domestic, not just military aircraft).
From what I recall, the military has no intention to equip its
aircraft with ADA/B.
Who declared the military's intention wrt ADS-B equippage? What person?
What office?
Instead, there has been a proposal to create
another (ground based) system to broadcast their position to the ADS/B
network.
Borrelli's demo of a ADS-B/Link-16 gateway was just that, a demo.
Did you read it? Do you believe the assertions made in that document
are inaccurate?
That would seem to defeat the ability of ADS/B equipped
aircraft to detect each other independent of third parties.
well, until the Mode S mafia stops insisting that Mode S can be used for
ADS-B we are going to have a problem with the ability to detect ALL
other traffic without any gateway.
Are you aware of an ADS/B system that isn't based on Mode S?
I expect DoD aircraft will get ADS-B, assuming sufficient funding is
provided by Congress.
They claim there is no room to install the equipment in many of their
aircraft:
Who is "they"?
IIRC, it was in the at the link I provided in my previous followup.
