ADS-B: Backbone of cooperative airspace surveillance

Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast has established itself as a critical component for the integration of unmanned systems into airspace. Satellite-based positioning with continuous data transmission achieves a level of precision that significantly exceeds that of conventional SSR systems.

System architecture and data flow

Bidirectional communication via air-to-air and air-to-ground links enables symmetrical information distribution between aircraft and ATC. ADS-B input provides pilots with the same situational awareness as air traffic control, thereby realizing the concept of cooperative surveillance.

b.r.m. Operational Implementation

We use ADS-B for air situation awareness in our 3,600 km² BVLOS flight area, Hatten-UAS. Data processing is carried out via our future USSP infrastructure, with both manned and unmanned systems being recorded and coordinated in real time.
From our new location at Bremen Airport, we are developing the IT architectures for these critical surveillance systems.

Integration into DAA architectures

ADS-B acts as an essential component for detect and avoid systems. In combination with TCAS, it enables reliable detection and tracking of cooperative targets.
As an IT service provider with aviation expertise, b.r.m. develops software solutions that seamlessly integrate these systems.

As a designated U-Space service provider, we develop ADS-B-based UTM services for seamless ATM/UTM integration. Data processing in our GDPR-compliant green IT data center ensures both operational efficiency and regulatory compliance. With the EASA standardization of ADS-L, we are continuously expanding our monitoring capabilities for UAS-specific requirements.

Technology leadership from Bremen

b.r.m. combines IT expertise with aviation expertise. Our solutions enable customers to make optimal use of ADS-B technology, from system integration to operational implementation in U-Space. ADS-B remains the standard for cooperative surveillance. At b.r.m., we make it usable.
