The Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) is a satellite-based navigation system used in airports and air traffic control. It provides precision approach and landing guidance to aircraft, allowing for more efficient and safer operations. GBAS is an alternative to traditional ground-based navigation systems, such as Instrument Landing Systems (ILS). It is capable of providing more accurate and reliable navigation data than ILS, and can be used in areas where ILS is not available. GBAS also provides additional safety features, such as the ability to detect and alert pilots to potential hazards. GBAS is becoming increasingly popular in airports and air traffic control, as it offers a number of advantages over traditional navigation systems. It is more cost-effective, as it requires less infrastructure and maintenance. It is also more reliable, as it is less susceptible to interference and can provide more accurate data. Companies in the GBAS market include Honeywell, Thales, Rockwell Collins, Garmin, and Collins Aerospace. Show Less Read more
