This paper describes the development of an automatic dependent surveillance system(ADS) with Java on Web environment. The ADS consists of a server module and a client one. The server module performs a database server for gathering GPS data from airplanes. It also dose an Web server function for sending Java applet to clients. The applet enables each client to obtain the current flight information from the server via the Internet without a special client software. This client-server based ADS with Java environment has several advantages over other systems. One is not to need for installing special client software on each client system. The other is its simplicity on system maintenance. The reason why it has simplicity is to require only server program modification including the applet without updating client software. After testing the ADS system with the flight information of a Mooney, we can show that the prototype system can be a candidate for developing commercial products.
