Airports in most major cities and many seasonally popular destinations are faced with airspace capacity limitations in numerous situations which can result in severe economic impact. Many concepts have emerged that could help augment capacity, but each one requires changes and enhancements to existing ATC systems, aircraft avionics, training or procedures. Generally, those concepts that offer the greatest potential benefit also carry the greatest impact to current technologies and procedures. Nearly all of the concepts require surveillance capabilities in excess of traditional rotating radar systems. Transponder multilateration and ADS-B are two important enabling surveillance technologies that have proven their worth and are on the path to wide spread deployment. The equipage of aircraft with advanced avionics to support ADS-B will take considerable time due to the required financial investment; therefore, solid transition planning and flexible systems that support this transition are critical to achieve interim benefits prior to universal equipage. Transponder multilateration appears to be the best candidate to support the demands of the transition from our current radar-centric, limited ADS-B environment to an all ADS-B environment of the future.
