ADS-B to Link-16 Gateway Demonstration: An Investigation of a Low-Cost ADS-B Option for Military Aircraft

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.
