Forbes Magazine ADS-B Article

Forbes Magazine's "Smarter Skies" Feb. 26 article highlights the benefits of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) and that the technology could eventually replace the radar system and relieve air traffic congestion, according to the FAA. ADS-B works by coordinating the location of planes equipped with sensors with a set of GPS satellites able to feed information back to pilots and air traffic controllers. The FAA this summer plans to award a contract for the ground equipment for a nationwide ADS-B system.
