Abstract :
In this work the potential usage of ADS-B and Wide Area Multilateration (WAM) Surveillance with High Altitude Platform Systems (HAPS) is considered. The paper investigates the possible configuration of the system, the link budget, the geometry and the limitation due to the random access to the channel by the Mode S Signals (capacity). The surveillance performance of the proposed architecture in a Wide Area Multilateration context is evaluated by both simulation and statistical analysis (Cramer Rao Lower Bound).
