Notice of virtual meeting for Prospective Manufacturers of Airborne Position Reference Tools (APRT).
Summary
The FAA is holding a virtual industry event to educate companies interested in manufacturing supplemental surveillance tools to increase airborne situational awareness. These "Airborne Position Reference Tools" (APRTs) will be available for purchase and operation by non-federal entities (e.g., airport authorities). APRTs are intended for use in air traffic control towers that are staffed by non-federally employed controllers and not equipped with Standard Terminal Automation Replacement Systems (STARS).
