ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast) is an acronym used to describe a new modular tracking technology that will eventually replace traditional radar and analog (voice) communications with satellite tracking and high-speed digital communications.  The technology commonly referred to as ADS-B is patented in 16 countries.  Named SCAN (Surveillance, Communication and Navigation) by its original inventor, ADS-B based technologies may be used to locate, track and communicate with vehicles or personnel in land, air, marine and space environments.

In the aviation industry, the patented technology SCAN and ADS-B are virtually identical.  ADS-B/SCAN patent protection encompasses communications involving the broadcast of target identification and position information.  The FAA describes ADS-B as the enabling technology for free flight, a new safer method for managing air traffic and preventing collisions.  The long awaited all-digital ADS-B system promises to greatly simplify all pilot-controller tasks including emergency location and rescue service.  The commercial airline industry and the FAA estimate that full deployment of ADS-B will reduce aviation related fatalities by 80% and save $3.5 billion annually in fuel costs and improved scheduling.

SCAN Acronym:
Surveillance, Communications And Navigation.
Surveillance for Collision Avoidance Navigation.
