I, and no doubt others, would like to know the answer - but if it does not at present work at those speeds, could it be developed so that it does? If it does or could, it certainly seems to me to offer a better potential solution than Mode S (or A or C) for glider/glider collisions - which transponders do nothing for - and glider/GA - which transponders do little or nothing for, depending on whether they have ATC contact (if ATC have not suppressed the glider transponder signal), and/or ACAS (which few GA aircraft have), and/or collision avoidance (which not that many GA have either) - an awful lot of if's. Oh, and I understand that UK military have neither TCAS/ACAS nor other collision avoidance, and many/most have no transponder either. Chris N. |
