“…Though the IF-77 model considers 'terrain type' and 'average terrain' parameters [4], it does not consider detailed terrain data. CRC-Predict model does use detailed terrain and clutter data and also closely matches the IF-77 predictions [5]. Figure 2 shows a comparison of viewshed model prediction and the CRC-Predict 5GHz RF model prediction at 100 ft AGL along one northern portion of the pipeline.…”

In early 2015, Harris Corporation and the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) conducted a feasibility study to assess the use of C-Band terrestrial based command and control (C2) communications as enabler of low altitude unmanned aircraft system (UAS) operations along the 800 mile length of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS). In this paper, we describe the use of linear programming optimization techniques, as the bases of our technical assessment and infrastructure requirements derivation for the C-Band terrestrial based C2 communications. The use of advanced linear programming techniques enabled our prescriptive analysis allowing the evaluation of various optimal and near-optimal infrastructure solutions.

“…E. Boci [3][4][5] uses an integrated radio-frequency software for ADS-B coverage prediction. In his work, the siting solutions are proposed according to the maximum radar interference with the existing radar sites; and for the non-radar areas, the cone-of-silence problem due to the vertical pattern of ADS-B antenna is addressed in order to determine the distance between two sites.…”

ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance and Broadcast) is a new surveillance technology that allows an aircraft to broadcast its own position periodically to ground stations. It has better precision, higher refresh rate, and lower cost than traditional secondary radar. Therefore, it is envisaged as a potential solution for air traffic surveillance in the context of nowadays growing traffic. In this study, we focus on a location problem that aims to deploy a network of ADS-B ground stations, in order to cover a given traffic space at minimum cost. We propose three mathematical optimization models based on a 2D discretized airspace under the form of discrete-optimization problems. Results obtained with the Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) solver Gurobi tested on a real-life size problem (8,476 daily flights over France) shows that our approach is viable in an operational context. The performances of the three proposed formulations are analyzed and compared. I. Introduction Automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) is a new aeronautic surveillance technology that has been applied broadly around the world in recent years. ADS-B system consists of ground infrastructures and on-board transponders. This system provides two different services:

“…Also, closely located Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) antenna can degrade the ground receiver performance [11]. Heavy electronic machines installed near airports are another potential reason of electromagnetic interference which also affect reception of ADS-B signal [20].…”
