The International Civil Aviation Organization asked a special committee FANS (Future Air Navigation Systems) to study satellite system implementation for communication navigation and surveillance applications. This committee recently issued its final report. FANS work is presented and the consequences are analyzed of satellite system implementation in case of the surveillance of air traffic. The most important element will be Automatic Dependent Surveillance (ADS) which implies the automatic air to ground return transmission of various airborne measured parameters, i.e., mainly aircraft position as supplied by the aircraft navigation equipments. This concept allows a much more efficient air traffic control in every area lacking a ground infrastructure. In continents areas with heavy air traffic, satellites will not substitute the secondary surveillance radar. The new techniques however will allow a flexible design of the ground infrastructure.
