Space-based ADS-B Benefits Outlined in FSF Report
The Flight Safety Foundation's report explains how space-based ADS-B could improve surveillance of aircraft over oceans and remote areas.

The Flight Safety Foundation (FSF) has published a report—Benefits Analysis of Space-Based ADS-B—that highlights how automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast technology could be used to cover remote regions of the world, including oceans, where it is difficult or impossible to place ADS-B ground stations. Space-based ADS-B uses receivers installed in satellites to detect ADS-B signals broadcast from equipped aircraft then retransmits that information to air navigation service providers (ANSPs). “Experts interviewed for this report believe it may introduce a step change in improving the safety of oceanic operations,” according to the FSF.
