[Discuss-gnuradio] CGRAN Project: tracking commercial aircraft with Mode S

[George Nychis]

Hi all,

Another cool addition to CGRAN:

Project: Mode S Receiver for Tracking Commercial Aircraft

Contributor: Nick Foster

Project Page:  https://www.cgran.org/wiki/gr-air-modes

Description:

This module implements a complete  Mode S and  ADS-B receiver for Gnuradio. The module allows you to track commercial aircraft which are broadcasting their position via ADS-B, and also prints altitude and ICAO information for secondary surveillance interrogation responses. It also has plugins to output to PlanePlotter, and to KML for use with Google Earth.
