The Research and Technology Division works in close partnership
with the FAA project management offices and operating services, the military,
industry, academia, foreign aviation authorities, and standards setting
organizations such as RTCA and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
Currently, the division's efforts are primarily focused on supporting GPS
Augmentation systems (LAAS and WAAS) and other navigational aides, TCAS, Safe
Flight - 21 initiatives such as the Requirements Focus Group (RFG), Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast
(ADS-B) and Cockpit Display of Traffic Information (CDTI) applications, and
ADS-B Program Office initiatives such as the definition and testing of ADS-B
Surveillance and Broadcast Services Ground Stations.

The Airborne Technology Team supports the development of ADS-B system
standards and requirements and the applications enabled by this new surveillance
technology. For a more detailed description of ADS-B, its enabling
technology, and potential applications of this new surveillance source, visit
the ADS-B Web Page. Like the Surveillance Team, the Airborne Technology Team also supports various SF-21
and ADS-B Program Office initiatives enabled by ADS-B, including Cockpit Display and Traffic Information
(CDTI) technology and applications. Airborne Technology Team personnel also
perform analysis of TCAS (also called ACAS in much of the world) performance from simulation modeling and commercial and
test flight data and support FAA certification efforts of TCAS I and TCAS II
systems. For a more detailed description of TCAS, visit the
TCAS Web Page.
