Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast
Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast (ADS-B) is an aviation surveillance technology and form of Airborne collision avoidance system#Aircraft collision avoidance, electronic conspicuity in which an aircraft determines its position via satellite navigation or other sensors and periodically broadcasts its position and other related data, enabling it to be tracked.

Unlike SSR, ADS-B does not require an interrogation signal from the ground or from other aircraft to activate its transmissions. ADS-B can also receive Point-to-point (telecommunications), point-to-point by other nearby equipped ADS-B equipped aircraft to provide traffic situational awareness and support self-separation. ADS-B is "automatic" in that it requires no pilot or external input to trigger its transmissions. It is "dependent" in that it depends on data f ...
