Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B) is an important part of the FAA's
NextGEN effort. ADS-B is a precise GPS-based surveillance system that provides ATC
access to traffic data well beyond the capabilities of RADAR alone. It enables the display
of precise traffic data in cockpits equipped to receive ADS-B.
