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.

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).

    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

    Radar, was called RDF during WWII until the Americans dubbed it Radar. RDF, know to detect aircraft miles away helped to warn the Royal Air Force that Luftwaffe forces were arriving. RDF involved sending a signal out and when the signal interacted with the metal of the airplane the signal would ping back and show on the RDF command center around the British coast and then warn RAF an attack was coming, this allowed for the RAF to meet them before the enemy could bomb structures, (Cumming, 692). This surpassed what the ROC (Royal Observation Corps) could do since the ROC was usually more dependable up close, but if the skies were not clear or dark they could not do anything to help so it was up to RDF to do the job and locate the enemy. Of course RDF had its strengths but it had its limitations.

    This wide range is intended to catch any communication between the U.S. and another country. If the data collected does not meet certain criteria the data would be destroyed. This sort of data collection tries to intercept terrorist communications, but sometimes many innocent Americans are spied on. Some examples of these types of surveillance have code-names Blarney, Fairview, Oakstar, Lithium, and Stormbrew. These are mostly different operations within each of the the major communications providers such as Verizon and AT&T.

    As technology continues to advance, the use of GPS tracking as a tool for law enforcement will likely become increasingly prevalent. One potential implication is that law enforcement may turn to alternative forms of surveillance that do not require a warrant, such as facial recognition technology or cell-site location information. This could cause a shift in the way law enforcement gathers information, resulting in a decrease in protected privacy for individuals. The future implications of requiring a search warrant for GPS tracking of a suspect are complex and
