Visualization and Prediction of Aircraft trajectory using ADS-B

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to develop a method of tracking manned aircraft operating in the vicinity of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles' flight paths. Using ADS-B and other sources, identified aircraft are classified and characterized as potential threats or a non-threats based on their altitudes, locations, and projected trajectories. The flight history and projected trajectory of each ADS-B equipped aircraft being tracked is visualized in real time. Flight trajectories are calculated using a deterministic algorithm.
