The provision for two-way communications with aircraft, via a digital data link, has long been considered a means of providing significant enhancements for safe and efficient flight operations. The Mode Select Beacon System (Mode S) system currently under development will provide the mechanism to allow a digital data link function. The Mode S also offers improvements in surveillance processing, and range and azimuth accuracy. The Mode S Project Transition Plan presents those activities and the organizations that are responsible to effect the transition of the Mode S into the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Technical Center.
