It all sounds very 'intelligent' but still reliant on the system knowing where the aircraft is in space.

I don't quite understand how the VSL sub-system 'knows' that BAW123 is in the BNN hold and thus adds it to the displayed hold list. Is position information not an ADS_B-only feature?

Does the software rely on position information from existing radar technology and then integrate that with the extended MODE-S information to create a 'picture'?
