Abstract: Spoof detection can be performed by various systems and methods. The systems and methods can provide for detection by passive listening, active interrogation, and other techniques. Moreover, systems and methods can also provide for reporting and displaying information relating to detected spoofing. For example, a method can include receiving, on a device, a signal providing a report for an aircraft. The method can also include determining, with the device, a first parameter for the aircraft from information in the report. The method can further include determining, with the device, a second parameter for the aircraft from at least one signal characteristic of the signal. The method can additionally include determining, with the device, a validity status of the report based on comparing the first parameter and the second parameter.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose systems and methods for providing an ATC Overlay data link. Through embodiments of the present invention, existing ATC (or other) modulated signals using existing standard frequencies may be utilized to transmit (e.g., from an aircraft transponder) additional information in a manner that does not render the transmitted signal unrecognizable by legacy ATC equipment. Legacy equipment will be able to demodulate and decode information that was encoded in the transmitted signal in accordance with preexisting standard modulation formats, and updated equipment can also extract the additional information that was overlaid on transmitted signals.

Abstract: Multipath mitigation can be performed in a surface environment by various systems and methods. For example, antenna beams from multiple antennas can be used to reduce the impact of multipath on a received signal. Thus, a method can include monitoring for a signal on at least one upper antenna beam of an aircraft. The method can also include monitoring for the signal on at least one lower antenna beam of the aircraft while monitoring on the at least one upper antenna beam. The method can further include processing the signal received by the at least one upper antenna beam and/or the at least one lower antenna beam.
