Integrating navigation & surveillance of Unmanned Air Vehicles into the civilian national airspaces by using ADS-B applications

Abstract

In this study, integration of various Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) system applications into the Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) platforms are explored in terms of navigation and surveillance in civilian air traffic and national air space management operations. In the first section, UAV systems are introduced and in the second part ADS-B systems are explained. In the final section how ADS-B provides navigation and surveillance for UAV systems in civil airspace management integrations are performed is explained.
