Abstract :
GREATER SAFETY through more efficient air traffic control is now possible through the development of a TACAN (tactical air navigation) Automatic Reporting and Data Link System by Federal Telecommunication Laboratories (FTL), a division of International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation (IT&T). The result of six years of research, this newly declassified electronic system represents a major step in bringing air traffic control to a point where it can adequately handle not only the high-speed aircraft now in operation, but also those predicted for the future.
