AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL

Abstract

Because the allowable effort on ATC is comparatively small, it has been focused on only one facet of the problem; namely, on the data acquisition and communications task. The new group has started to make significant progress in several study aspects of the problem and has also obtained experimental L- band multipath data from an experimental air-ground test system. When additional support is received, the program will be expanded to include over-all system design studies and the investigation of radar improvements and multilateration systems, both ground and satellite-based.
