As the FAA moves toward the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen), it has defined a transformational program known as Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B).rnADS-B is the NextGen surveillance technology that allows aircraft and air traffic management to know the location of each participating aircraft. Instead of relying completely on ground-based primary and secondary surveillance radar (SSR) systems to track aircraft, NextGen will rely on each aircraft to broadcast its GPS position periodically.
