Abstract
This paper focuses on the microprocessor-based computer architecture necessary to integrate the Department of Defense's Global Positioning System into the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) main frame computers. It incorporates what is defined as an Automated Dependent Surveillance (ADS) concept for air traffic control. The ADS system is dependent upon receiving position information from the aircraft's equipment as opposed to the independent ‘skin paint’ received from a radar. After a brief introduction and background, the authors' detailed design is presented depicting the distinctive manner in which the hardware and software were committed and modified in the main frame computer and the design approach for the avionics equipment to permit the Global Positioning System to be employed for air traffic control.
