The Federal Aviation Administration completed its installation of a key component of a nationwide satellite-based next-generation aircraft tracking system. The installation of the automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) radio network “supports a satellite-based surveillance system that tracks aircraft with the help of GPS,” FAA said in a press release Monday (http://1.usa.gov/1kYFMQ0). “This provides more accurate aircraft location information than the current radar system.” Air traffic controllers can begin using ADS-B to separate aircraft nationwide, FAA said.
