FANS (Future Air Navigation System) and AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) are signs of our advances in Aerospace technology.
FANS will give Air Traffic Controllers the ability to control aircraft more accurately in Ocean areas of the world where radar does not exist. It uses technology for each aircraft to individually report and for satellite tracking of aircraft since radar does not track them in Ocean regions, such as the Pacific where FANS is basically a start up for. Cathay Pacific and Qantas are two Airlines amongst others who lobbied Boeing for this system. Pilots do not have to report using voice, but using their ACARS system.
AESA Radar gives Air Combat Pilots the ability to track more targets and more able to cope with Electronic Counter Measures. More on this soon.
