The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Traffic Information Service (TIS) Developmental Test and Evaluation (DT&E) and Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) Final Test Report is prepared by the Mode Select (Mode S) Test Group of the Surveillance Branch ACT-310. It provides the detailed analysis, results, the final conclusions, and recommendations drawn from the DT&E and OT&E of the TIS data link service for the Mode S Beacon Radar System. The purpose of the TIS data link function is intended to improve the safety and efficiency of 'see-and-avoid' flight by providing automatic display to the pilot of nearby traffic and warnings of any potentially threatening conditions. The source of TIS information is the file of aircraft tracks maintained by the ground Mode S sensor providing coverage for a region of airspace.
