First experimental Discrete Address Beacon System (DABS), the prototype of a system that is expected to form the cornerstone of the Federal Aviation Administration's next-generation air traffic control system, is now beginning flight test evaluation at Lincoln Laboratory in Lexington, Mass. In addition to providing an improved air-surveillance radar beacon system to cope with growing air traffic, DABS will provide a new function-ground-to-aircraft data link communications of routine air traffic control information and advisories.
