Mode-S/ADS Milcom Intercepts 27-31 December 2018 - Brasstown NC

Here is the latest round of Mode-S/ADS-B Military/Government intercepts logged from here on the radio ranch in WNC. All dates/times are UTC and sorted in date/time order. It has been relatively quiet mil wise during the holiday week between Christmas and New Years. Sloppy weather has not helped either.

I want to wish all my readers a Happy New Year - 2019. We are now one year away from the federal government mandated for ADS-B capability. FAA has mandated that aircraft operating in airspace that now requires a Mode C transponder must be equipped with ADS-B by Jan. 1, 2020. This ADS-B upgrade is a cornerstone of NextGen air traffic modernization program and will again fundamentally change Milcom monitoring going into the next decade.

Listings like those below will show a radical change a year from now with more mil aircraft on this lust and more information within each listing. Should be interesting to see how things look throughout this next year as we approach the Jan 1, 2020 deadline.
