Abstract
The present invention provides a low-cost and low-volume mode A/C/S transponder positioning system to detect the position of a target aircraft, or intruder, outside the range of a secondary surveillance radar system. The system uses a signal of the intruder to pinpoint the location of the intruder. The system can be used on both the ground and on an aircraft in a full 360 degree range around the system.
