Design of an Integrated Aircraft Target Information System Including Target Length Data

This study describes an integrated aircraft target information system including target length data, providing evidence to determine the operational status of functions within a radar system. The target information integration system receives aircraft data from ADS-B receivers via UDP, converting it into a radar-compatible format using information such as call sign, aircraft type, coordinate, speed, and heading. The coordinate and target length information are converted to radar-referenced coordinates and then transmitted to the radar system. Comparison of target information with the radar system showed that targets were displayed at corresponding PPI locations, with minor errors in speed and range data.
