Abstract
Knowledge of aircraft last position and trajectory is of the utmost importance for search and rescue in aviation today. In case of an accident, this information is necessary for rapid response.
The existing method of reporting the whereabouts depend upon pilot reports during flight or signals from special equipment such as emergency location transmission. Future renovation to Air Traffic Control system has been planned which requires the installation of automatic Dependent Surveillances – Broadcast. However, it will take some time to implement such systems in all aircrafts and providing the necessary infrastructure. This paper proposes Geo-tagging the pilot communication using Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) method. It is an intermediate, yet inexpensive, solution for worldwide application in aviation which can be implemented quickly. It takes advantage of the existing equipment both in the air as well as on the ground. The simulations presented show the applicability and efficiency of the proposed routine.
