Aireon Announces Strategic Partnership with The Federal Aviation Administration for Space-Based ADS-B Data Exploration
Aireon's space-based ADS-B data will build on L3Harris' efforts to improve and enhance operations and safety in U.S. airspace by providing contiguous, enterprise wide air traffic surveillance services.
"As the prime contractor for the FAA's terrestrial ADS-B air traffic surveillance program, we are excited to explore how Aireon's space-based ADS-B will give the FAA an opportunity to investigate new ways of delivering safer skies through an integrated space-based and terrestrial system," says Jay Kreider , General Manager, Surveillance & Automation Solutions at L3Harris. "Evaluation of space-based ADS-B marks an exciting step towards modernizing the U.S. airspace."
The deployment of Aireon's space-based ADS-B data will enable the FAA to develop use cases that ensure value and return on any future investments.
"We think this is a huge milestone in the FAA's efforts to create transformative change in the management and operations of U.S. airspace," says
Don Thoma , CEO, Aireon. "Aireon's mission is to enhance the safety and efficiency of air navigation through the use of space-based ADS-B, and we're excited to discover how this partnership can advance modernization throughout one of the world's most important airspaces with the addition of global, real-time data."
Aireon operates the first ever, space-based air traffic surveillance system for Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) equipped aircraft throughout the entire globe. Aireon harnesses next-generation aviation surveillance technologies that were formerly ground-based and extends their reach throughout the world to significantly improve efficiency, enhance safety, reduce emissions and provide cost savings benefits to all stakeholders. Aireon's high-fidelity, low-latency surveillance data is available for various applications, allowing aerospace industry partners access to revolutionary data capabilities that enhance asset tracking, aircraft situational awareness and decision support analytical tools. In partnership with leading ANSPs from around the world, like NAV CANADA , Enav, NATS, the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) and Naviair, as well as Iridium Communications, Aireon provides global, real-time, space-based aircraft data for enhanced air traffic surveillance, innovation and analytics.
