The Discrete Address Beacon System (DABS) is an evolutionary upgrading of the Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System (ATCRBS). DABS provides improved surveillance and an integral ground-air-ground digital data link for transmission of Air Traffic Control (ATC) communications messages between ATC and DABS-equipped aircraft. Surveillance data and data link services will be provided via land lines to ATC facilities. The DABS/ATC interface consists of two digital links to each facility: a two-way communications link and a one-way surveillance link from DABS to ATC. This document describes the ATC facility (terminal and en route) hardware required for interfacing with DABS surveillance and communications links. (Author)
