System specifications for developing an Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) monitoring system

This paper presents a holistic set of system specifications for ADS-B monitoring systems. In particular, the paper analyzes the ADS-B infrastructure, conducts a systematic review of existing ADS-B monitoring systems, classifies the system characteristics to identify gaps, and derives a set of specifications for developing ADS-B monitoring systems. The paper also assesses the compliance of existing ADS-B monitoring systems against the proposed specifications using a mapping exercise. The system specifications serve as a foundation or minimum requirements for air navigation service providers and original equipment manufacturers to develop systematic and comprehensive ADS-B monitoring systems.
