CNS Systems uses its CNS Ground Station product to support research into the development of new data link technologies and applications for commercial and military aviation.
FAA Airport Surface Traffic Automation (ASTA): The FAA uses the ASDE-3/AMASS radar based system to detect and prevent runway incursions. This project involves the addition of Differential GPS-based Automatic Dependent Surveillance (ADS) and initial departure traffic management capability using a new high-speed STDMA two-way data link between the tower and the cockpit.
NASA TAP/LVLASO: Develop and demonstrate technologies that will enable VFR capacities on the surface to CAT IIIb. This project involves the addition of Differential GPS-based Automatic Dependent Surveillance (ADS) and Ground Traffic Control capability using a new high-speed D8PSK two-way data link between the tower and the cockpit.
Naval Air Warfare Center FASSTER: Demonstrate Time-Space-Position Information (TSPI) and safety surveillance capabilities at DoD T&E ranges utilizing evolving Civil Aeronautical Data Link. This project involves the evaluation a new high-speed two-way data links to provide a means of transporting GPS and INS telemetry data from fighter aircraft to ground controllers at rates up to five times per second for each aircraft.
