TBS - Traffic Information Service Broadcast (TIS-B) Server Software

TIS-B is a service providing current aircraft surveillance information to airborne systems (and usually the pilot). This is a broadcast service from ground stations, sending surveillance information from ground to air. As such, there is no TIS-B data transfer from aircraft to ground and there are no acknowledgements of the receipt of TIS-B messages.

To provide TIS-B service an Air Traffic Service Provider (ATSP) collects and correlates surveillance data from Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR, either conventional, monopulse or Mode S), Primary Surveillance Radar (PSR), Multilateration systems and from ADS-B ground stations.

The outputs from individual surveillance systems may be fused before passing to the TIS-B system. The TIS-B ground system determines which TIS-B targets are required to be broadcast (by considering the available SSR and ADS-B data). Finally the TIS-B ground station broadcasts these targets at regular intervals for reception by properly equipped aircraft where the information is then presented to the pilot(s).

AviBit has developed a TIS-B Server in in the frame of its involvement in the NUPII program and has signed a marketing agreement with TERMA A/S for marketing the TIS-B server in the LinkAGE product family.
