About Mode S, ADS-B & SBS-1 page

 

What is Mode S and ADS-B

Mode S is a Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) technique with a selective interrogation of aircraft with its unique 24-bit worldwide address. This enables a unique identification of aircraft removing the risk of confusion due to overlapping signals.

Mode S operates in the same Radio Frequency (1030-1090 MHz) band as conventional SSR systems.

Mode-S employs airborne transponders to provide altitude and identification data, with ADS-B adding global navigation data typically obtained from a GPS receiver

The position and identification data supplied by Mode S/ADS-B broadcasts are available to pilots and air traffic controllers.

Mode S/ADS-B data updates rapidly, is very accurate and provides pilots and air traffic controllers with common air situational awareness for enhanced safety, capacity and efficiency. Further, It can provide a cost-effective solution for surveillance coverage in non-radar airspace.

 

 

SBS-1 Real-time Virtual Radar  

Combining state-of-the-art electronics and new technological advances has enabled Kinetic Avionic Products Limited to produce the revolutionary SBS-1.

Not only are first time aircraft enthusiasts worldwide able to directly monitor the skies in an unprecedented fashion, but the SBS-1 provides small and medium sized airfields, and operators, with many of the safety and operational benefits previously only available to large international airports - at a fraction of current radar costs.

Coupled with a Mode-S/ADS-B transponder the SBS-1 becomes an invaluable tool in flight training operations.
