Air Traffic Control

Abstract

The report describes the activities in air traffic control which are funded by the Air Force. Where these activities have led to projects supported by other agencies or are intimately related to such work, this interrelationship has been noted. Progress on other ATC tasks during this quarter included the completion of a Technical Development Plan for a Discrete Address Beacon System for the FAA, two studies relating to Fourth Generation ATC System Concepts for the Transportation Systems Center of DOT, and the Evaluation of a Laser Beam Alerting System for Logan Airport sponsored by the Massachusetts Port Authority.
