Not necessarily, Pinky, the system would just have to go through an approval process to be used in ATS. However, CA/GRS is not an ATS, as determined by CASA.
It would be interesting if the operator of a CA/GRS was to procure a short-range primary radar, let's say to track unmanned operations at the airport.
Would the CA/GRO then be able to use the radar information to warn an incoming Cessna pilot that a UAV was in his/her vicinity, or would CASA not approve that vital information being passed?
