Global Aeronautical Communications, Navigation, and Surveillance (CNS): Volume 1—Theory introduces the basic theoretical principles of communications, space technology, and antenna technology and their use in air traffic control (ATC) and air traffic management (ATM) systems.

Global Aeronautical Communication, Navigation, and Surveillance (CNS): Volume 2—Applications expands on aeronautical CNS communications, space technology, and antenna technology, and focuses in particular on its use in air traffic control (ATC) and air traffic management (ATM) systems, describing CNS applications and methodology during take-off, en-route flight, and landing.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

STOJČE DIMOV ILČEV is Chair of Postgraduate Studies and the Research Group in Space Science at Durban University of Technology in Durban, South Africa. He studied maritime radio engineering and nautical science at Montenegro University, maritime electronics and communications at Rijeka University in Croatia, and electrical engineering at Skopie University, Macedonia and Belgrade University, Serbia. He holds Bachelor (BSc), Master in Engineering (MSc), and Doctor of Science (Ph.D.) degrees. Since 2000, Ilčev has worked at IS Marine Radio on research and projects relating to modern radio and satellite CNS equipment as well as systems for maritime, land, and aeronautical applications. He has written three books on CNS and has invented several applications for mobile radio and satellite CNS, DVB-RCS, satellite asset tracking (SAT), and stratospheric communication platforms (SCP) for maritime, land, and aeronautical applications.
