The Discrete Address Beacon System (DABS) is a cooperative surveillance and communication system for air traffic control. It employs ground-based sensors (interrogators) and airborne transponders. Ground-to-air and air-to-ground data-link communications are accommodated integrally with the surveillance interrogations and replies. DABS has been designed as an evolutionary replacement for the current Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System (ATCRBS) to provide the enhanced surveillance and communication capability required for air traffic control in the 1980s and 1990s. Compatibility with ATCRBS has been emphasized to permit an extended, economical transition.
