RECORDING SYSTEM AND APPARATUS INCLUDING GEOFENCING

摘要

A system and apparatus for recording and archiving diverse communications over radio transmissions. The system and apparatus enables unattended airports within a geofenced area to generate a useful archive of all radio communications made by Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) equipped aircraft and ground personnel. A combination of hardware and software components are provided to record and store radio transmissions in computer files. Once stored, the computer files may then be replayed for training and investigation purposes. Likewise, users may generate custom reports based upon the data embodied in the computer files.

主权项

1. A recording apparatus for monitoring multiple radio transmissions at an unattended airport located within a geofenced area, said apparatus comprising:
a radio device for receiving multiple radio transmissions from one or more radio transmission sources; a plurality of unique signature elements each provided to a corresponding one of said one or more radio transmission sources, at least one of said unique signature elements being aircraft identity data from an ADS-B equipped aircraft located within said geofenced area; a signal interface connected to said radio device, said signal interface including an ADS-B receiver capable of receiving ADS-B data including said aircraft identity data from said ADS-B equipped aircraft and a variable attenuator capable of selective operation with a plurality of other radio devices including said radio device; and a computing device connected to said signal interface, said computing device generating data corresponding to each of said radio transmissions.
