Abstract :
The FAA is conducting evaluations of precision runway monitoring (PRM) surveillance techniques. This paper describes the evaluation results of the Multilateration/ADS-B system trials conducted at Atlanta-Hartsfield international airport (ATL) in 1997. The performance of time difference of arrival (TDOA) position multilateration of aircraft Mode S and mode A/C transmissions was evaluated, in addition to the system´s capability to support 1090 MHz ADS-B. The paper provides a system overview and presents preliminary coverage, accuracy and update rate results
