Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast ADS-B is a new form of surveillance which locates planes, in the air and on the ground, which broadcasts information about that plane’s location and destination while sending detailed reports about locations of other planes and the weather. It provides information for controllers on the ground, and, unlike radars used today, it also sends this information to the pilots flying the plan (Levin). ADS-B should be required for all commercial and private aircrafts because it would be safer for the pilot and the public, it would relieve air traffic controllers of most stress related to their job, and it would make travel and shipping products faster …show more content…

Levin states that ADS-B will improve air safety with its ability to warn not only controllers on the ground, but also pilots in the air about potential collisions in the air and on airport runways. Radars provide unclear positions of planes, while only controllers on the ground can see that information. Pilots will be able to not only identify what the complication is, but also where it’s coming from without the assistance of another person on the ground. ADS-B also provides a “full network-wide” control, including worldwide surveillance. This means it will be able to track each plane from gate-to-gate, while also providing surveillance data to the on-board display which is able to be monitored by the crew that is in the air (Skybrary). A worldwide tracking system would be a huge leap in aviation. Getting rid of the gaps in signals from a radar’s inability to keep in touch with planes for long distances would be safer for people on the ground and in the …show more content…

Pilots say people are concerned that ADS-B will be used by cities and states to create new taxes, or the FAA to create new flight rules. Travelers are also worried about the ADS-B information being used to track their whereabouts (Hirschman f1+). Only pilots and controllers on the ground can see the information which is broadcasted from ADS-B, and tracking aircraft is for the better good of everyone, pilot, controller and civilian. ADS-B would make air travel safer, it would make the controllers’ job easier and less stressful and it would be a more efficient way of shipping products and travel; it should be required for all aircraft, large and small. “Paul Takemoto, an FAA spokesman in Washington, said, ‘ It’s a quantum leap in technology, and it’s not theoretical. It’s been tested and proven. We know it works’” (Hirschman). Making ADS-B a requirement would help everyone, while being a huge leap forward in

The German defenses used the Seetakt radar system. Scientists from the Telecommunications Research Establishment came to the conclusion that the range of the Seetakt was roughly 520 yards. To deceive the radar system, they decided on dropping clouds of aluminum foil at two mile intervals. The aluminum foil was code named Window. The clouds would appear as a continuous blip, similar to one created by an oncoming fleet, on German screens.

However, radar, or radio detection and ranging, should not be taken for granted. A technology revolutionary for the time, it could display the locations of enemy ships and aircraft, aim anti-aircraft guns, and track storms. From navigating at night and through fog to finding bombing targets and even locating buried mines, radar’s ability to “see” for hundreds of miles helped the Allies secure a victory and

As Guy Montag attempts to make his escape (go into more detail), items such as “The Mechanical Hound” and helicopters are chasing him and watching him closely. In our world, most public areas have CCTVs that can be viewed when there is a crime and almost everyone now uses the GPS to navigate their ways. As Guy Montag describes in Fahrenheit 451, “The Hound was on its way, followed by hovering helicopter cameras, silently, silently, sniffing the great night wind” (Bradbury, 130). Once again, although the CCTV and GPS is not as complex in our world, there is a similarity between the dystopian society and our

Although there can be benefits to this act, the biggest argument from citizens is that it invades their privacy. This program can collect data from cell phones and other electronic devices unknowingly even if the owner of the information is not under suspicion for anything against the law. This goes against the part of the amendment where it states that a person is protected from unreasonable search and seizures because they are taking information without consent. With attention to these situations, it goes to show how although the Constitution is the United States governing law, it is not always followed correctly as it should
