About 2000, ADS-B successfully replaced radar (which was created in Britain and stands for Radio Detection and Ranging) attracting with its lower prize and additional technical benefits. Today, ADS-B signal captures an aircraft’s category, location, speed, altitude, and flight number. As a result, ATC (Air Traffic Control) also as other planes, both in the air and on the ground, and even satellites can receive ADS-B signal with all essential info about an aircraft.
Today RadarBox maps are already optionally available in 3D and 2D display based on Google Earth mapping. Also, it is possible to get into a cockpit and savour the view from there or check out all info about a vessel through your phone pointing it at any flight, so-called the skyview. And it is not the end! But how did the story begin?
In those times AirNav Systems produced simply designed software to track planes manually over oceanic areas and monitor airspace.
Now RadarBox offers a complete set of online flight tracking and monitoring tools for both professionals and amateurs. Currently, 15 000 followers track in 150 countries. AirNav had contacts with National Aeronautocs Athority NASA, Discovery Channel, FedEx, Swissport. Because AirNav is used to advocating standards of high quality and innovative approach. This position has been highly recognized and widely covered in mass media.
The current AirNav project is connected with the space-stationed ADS-B in 2018. Any obstacles will not influence signals transmission, thus:
- it will be possible to track an aircraft even above oceans
- natural phenomenon will not hinder the signal
- a picture will be more complete and precise
- aircraft will not need any special equipment on the board
- instead of FAA/ICAO/EASA customers can track their fleets through RadarBox24.com Business accounts
