Editorial Reviews

From the Author

After witnessing the squandering of about 2.5 billion dollars on the FAA's Advanced Automation System (AAS), and reading of 100's of unnecessary pilot and passenger deaths due to obsolete airport technology and methods it became clear that a better method of airport navigation, surveillance and control was required. The now canceled AAS program and many current FAA programs such as STARS perpetuate the past and fail to capitalize on the life saving cost effective technology of GPS and ADS. GPS and ADS provides the capability to redefine the nations airports with life saving cost effective alternatives to today's systems. The described implementation using GPS and ADS will provide superior performance to the localized navigation and radar surveillance systems in use today. The patented methods effectively represent the death of multi-billion dollar international airport technology business and the birth of a totally new one. Airport radar technology has served the aviation community well over the last 50 years, but it is now time to put this technology in the Smithsonian where it has certainly earned its place. The book describes a new paradigm for future airport operations which will save lives, be cost effective and be deployable are large and small airports alike. This book boldly ushers in a new future for airport operations.
