20 July, 2018: Airbus Defence and Space has introduced AirSense, an advanced analytics solution enabled by multi-source surveillance data, based on global Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) data. AirSense is based on various aircraft positions data feeds. Airbus has signed a strategic partnership with Aireon, a provider of global, space-based ADS-B data to enable AirSense to accurately track any aircraft in real-time and identify flight-related events around the globe.
With upcoming International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) requirements and growing volumes of air traffic, aviation stakeholders increasingly require real-time situational awareness on a global scale - supporting effective decision-making.
AirSense now combines Aireon‘s worldwide, space-based ADS-B data with exclusive Airbus assets and domain expertise to offer highly developed analytics leading to further improve the aircraft situational awareness, optimise flight routes, increase airport capacity, optimise airspace utilisation and enhance the overall travel experience.
