Summary
Three topics with impact on the performance of Air-to Satellite-to-Ground Systems for Air Traffic Control Surveillance are addressed in detail: 1) vulnerability to intentional jamming; 2) performance degradation due to the multiple access noise which results from uncoordinated aircraft transmissions, and 3) tracking techniques for improved surveillance accuracy and reduced short-term outages.

Summary
This report presents a first order feasibility study of four particular candidate surveillance systems for the fourth generation air traffic control system. No attempts has been made to compare these systems, rather we have chosen to examine in detail the most crucial aspects of each. This analysis has brought to light many of the features of these systems. These are detailed along with the research and development required to select the most attractive surveillance system.
