Key points
- There is an urgent need for a global flight tracking system to prevent the loss of aircraft in remote locations, as seen in past tragedies.
- Satellite-supported ADS-B technology is identified as a highly promising solution for monitoring aircraft in areas where radar coverage is limited or too expensive.
- The development of this technology requires the allocation of a specific radio spectrum band that is protected from interference.
- Tracking systems must be designed to remain functional even if an aircraft loses its normal electrical power.
