£5m system to track offshore air traffic soon to go live - Press & Journal
As this went to press , Planeplotter was just finishing multilateration trials for the whole of the UK....at a cost of , well , nothing , other than the hundreds of volunteer man hours !
Three months down the line we have about 50 ground stations active most of the time with good coverage down to 3000 feet...even better in many areas.
The North Sea must have been a piece of cake compared to the terrain environment of the mainland.
Of course a PP user can only handle one target per broadband connection , but thats purely down to server constraint.
It will be interesting to see how much the "official" UK Multilateration network will cost , when it eventually gets off the ground.
