GPS aircraft tracking is a means of tracking the position of an aircraft fitted with a satellite navigation device.By communication with navigation satellites, detailed real-time data on flight variables can be passed to a server on the ground.
The combination of FalconView and the Combat Flight Planning Software (CFPS) which was being developed by the USAF 46th Test Squadron and TYBRIN Corp became the Portable Flight Planning Software (PFPS). The first version of FalconView was completed in 1994. The software ran on MS-DOS, with a version for Windows 3.1 released not long after. [1]
Flight tracking enables travellers as well as those picking up travellers after a flight to know whether a flight has landed or is on schedule, for example to determine whether it is time to go to the airport. Aircraft carry ADS-B transponders, which transmit information such as the aircraft ID, GPS position, and altitude as radio signals.
Ellison Onizuka Satellite Operations Facility (EOSOF) at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California – Secondary C2 Node. The Satellite Control Network maintains a number of tracking stations, which are used to track (primarily) US government agency & military satellites, as well as receive and process telemetry and send commands to these satellites.
Tracking: shows where the tracked object have been. (This functionality relies past positioning data to be stored, so not just the "software" technically). Additional functions that extends the capabilities of satellite navigation software includes: Searching: finds locations with addresses or GNSS coordinates (latitude and longitude).
Flightradar24 is a Swedish Internet-based service that shows real-time aircraft flight tracking information on a map. It includes flight tracking information, origins and destinations, flight numbers, aircraft types, positions, altitudes, headings and speeds.
