| Research Title | ADS-B Technologies Use and Appropriation at CETAD |
| Author | Jimmy Flórez-Zuluaga |
| Date of publication | November 18 2014 |
| Abstract | Air transport is constantly growing, presenting considerable challenges to maintain safety and optimize navigation in an increasingly congested airspace. In this context, the integration of satellite navigation systems with autonomous broadcasting systems on aircraft, commonly known as ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast), has become a globally accepted alternative due to its advantages in terms of cost and performance.(Zuluaga, 2014). ADS-B functions as an automatic aircraft-dependent surveillance system, allowing each aircraft to periodically transmit crucial information about its position, altitude, speed and identification through a data link. This information is disseminated to both other nearby aircraft and ground stations, regardless of the coverage of traditional air traffic control systems (CNS/ATM).(Zuluaga, 2014).(Zuluaga, 2014) |

| Research Title | Drone Implementation in Logistics Activities |
| Author | William Yesid Guzmán Alarcón |
| Date of publication | 2020 |
| Abstract | Colombian companies seek to improve their logistics processes to reduce costs, mainly in warehousing and distribution. However, they lack the knowledge and implementation of innovative technological solutions. (Guzmán, 2020) Therefore, we seek to explore the benefits of emerging technologies, specifically the use of drones, to optimize logistics management through a literature review of secondary sources, including refereed databases and libraries, to analyze existing cases and studies on the use of drones in logistics. (Guzmán, 2020) Finally, identify the contributions and benefits of drones in logistics, describe successful cases in the implementation of drones to optimize logistics processes and propose recommendations for the adoption of drones in Colombian logistics.

| Research Title | Feasibility of TCAS systems on UAV platforms |
| Author | Pareja García Jonathan |
| Date of publication | 2009 |
| Abstract | The presented research work explores the feasibility of integrating Sense and Avoid (SAA) systems in UAVs, analyzing both TCAS and other alternatives. The final objective is to propose a suitable SAA solution for UAVs, considering the specific limitations and requirements of these aircraft.

| Research Title | Feasibility and implementation of ADS-B technology in Philippine airspace. |
| Author | Morata Pérez Alejandro |
| Date of publication | 2023 |
| Abstract | ADS-B has revolutionized air traffic control, offering a more efficient, reliable and secure system for aircraft monitoring and management. Worldwide, its implementation has grown exponentially, presenting itself as an alternative or complement to traditional radars. ADS-B implementation in the Philippines has faced challenges that have delayed its widespread adoption. Actions are required to address safety gaps and assess the real need for ADS-B in the country context. (Morata, 2023) |

| Research Title | Analysis, design and development of a 4-channel ADS-B receiver for Mode S and Mode 5. |
| Author | Gallego Menéndez Laura |
| Date of publication | 2020 |
| Abstract | Secondary radar systems are constantly evolving, incorporating automatic communications and digital signal processing to take full advantage of new telecommunications technologies. In response to this development, civil air surveillance authorities globally have mandated the mandatory upgrade of communication equipment starting in 2021. Although the military field does not yet have a defined date, it is expected to follow the same trend. (Gallego, 2020) In this context, this TFM proposes the design of a secondary radar reception subsystem for a 4-channel sector ground station. This solution not only allows us to comply with current regulations and anticipate future changes, but also contributes to significantly improving airspace safety. Benefits include optimized aircraft positioning, more efficient data communication and an overall increase in system capabilities. (Gallego, 2020) The implementation of this secondary radar reception subsystem represents a crucial step towards a more modern, safer and more efficient air surveillance, adapting to the demands of the current and future technological environment.

| Research Title | Optimization of air transport with self-separation monitoring during cruise flight phase |
| Author | Ricaud, E |
| Date of publication | 2016 |
| Abstract | The increase of air traffic in the last decades demands greater control and safety in the airspace. In this context, the Airborne Separation Assist System (ACAS) emerges as an innovative solution for autonomous aircraft surveillance and control. (Ricaud, 2016) The ACAS uses an automated system (CDTI) that provides real-time information on the surrounding traffic and executes automatic maneuvers to maintain vertical and horizontal separation, preventing collisions. (Ricaud, 2016) This study evaluates the adaptability of crews to this automated system, demonstrating a high degree of acceptance and ease of use. Tests confirm that ACAS optimizes the volume of air transport operations without compromising safety.In short, ACAS represents a significant advance in air surveillance, improving the efficiency and safety of air transport in an increasingly complex environment.

| Research Title | Aircraft localization and tracking using wide-area multilateration systems |
| Author | Abbud Momma Jorge José |
| Date of publication | 2020 |
| Abstract | Increasing demand in air transport and new military scenarios make it necessary to optimize the use of airspace. The EU and the US with SESAR and NextGen are looking for a new air traffic management (ATM) to increase the capacity of airports and air routes with greater flexibility and safety. The key to this change is to know the position of each aircraft in real time, and the trend in ATM is to use ADS-B as the main source of positioning. However, an independent tracking system is needed. (Abbud, 2020) The proposal of this thesis is to migrate from secondary surveillance radar (SSR) to wide area multilateration (WAM) to improve position accuracy. ADS-B base stations would be reused for WAM, and each station would send the time-of-arrival (TOA) measurement of the ADS-B message to the air traffic center. The aircraft position would be obtained by multilateration. (Abbud, 2020) The objective is to estimate the position of each aircraft as accurately as possible. For this purpose, errors affecting the TOA measurement (tropospheric refraction and synchronism error) are studied and tracking systems based on sophisticated versions of the Kalman filter (IMM, UKF) are proposed. (Abbud, 2020) The thesis presents a system that allows the tracking of aircraft, correcting the effects of the main distortions affecting the TOA measurement. The improvement in localization accuracy has been evaluated by simulation of hypothetical scenarios. (Abbud, 2020) |
