Collins Aerospace is leveraging the synergies of its recent acquisition of FlightAware by announcing at the World ATM Congress the availability of new aircraft tracking and alerting features for its Uncrewed Aircraft System (UAS) digital platform, WebUASSM. By integrating FlightAware FirehoseSM, the most comprehensive global flight tracking and ADS-B flight status data feed, WebUAS is now able to provide Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSP) and UAS operators an even higher-fidelity picture of active flight operations within airspace they are monitoring.
Autonomous and remotely-piloted flights are currently unable to commercially operate beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) because of gaps in air traffic management (ATM) technologies and infrastructure systems. Collins is helping to bridge these gaps with the integration of aircraft telemetry data and primary radar feeds and the ability to stream real-time aircraft tracking data from 195 different countries, private data link partners and the most comprehensive ADS-B network.
