Aireon and the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) have announced that the Aireon Aircraft Location and Emergency Response Tracking (ALERT) service is now live. According to Aireon, the ALERT service is designed to provide Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs), commercial aircraft operators, aviation regulators and search and rescue organizations with the last known position of ADS-B-equipped aircraft anywhere on the planet. ALERT uses Aireon’s space-based air traffic surveillance system, which went live last April.
