DO-212 is a performance standard published by RTCA, Incorporated. It contains Minimum Operational Performance Standards (MOPS) for aircraft equipment required for the Automatic Dependent Surveillance (ADS) function (ADSF). The supporting hardware can be a stand-alone ADS unit (ADSU) or alternatively, the ADS function may be installed within other on-board equipment.
