Track associator
Disclosed here are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments for track association. An embodiment operates by receiving a first set of track identification data from a first tracking system. The first set of track identification data is associated with a global track identifier (GID). The first set of track identification data associated with the GID is broadcasted to the first tracking system and a second tracking system. A second set of track identification data is received from the second tracking system. The second set of track identification data identifies any tracks of the second tracking system that match the first set of track identification data. The GID is associated with the second set of track identification data.
1. A computer implemented method, comprising:
receiving first track identification data from a first tracking system;
transmitting the first track identification data to a second tracking system;
determining that second track identification data of the second tracking system disagrees with the first track identification data; and

associating the first GID with a physical track;
disassociating the first GID from the physical track in response to determining that the second track identification data disagrees with the first track identification data; and
associating the physical track with a second GID corresponding to the second track identification data.
7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first track identification data includes a flight parameter.
8. A system, comprising:
a memory; and
one or more processors coupled to the memory and configured to:
receive first track identification data from a first tracking system;

determine that second track identification data of the second tracking system disagrees with the first track identification data; and
in response to determining that the second track identification data disagrees with the first track identification data, transmit to the first tracking system information pertaining to the second track identification data.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein to determine that the second track identification data disagrees with the first track identification data, the one or more processors are further configured to:
receive the second track identification data from the second tracking system; and
responsive to receiving the second track identification data, determine that the second track identification data disagrees with the first track identification data.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein to determine that the second track identification data disagrees with the first track identification data, the one or more processors are further configured to:
monitor the second tracking system for a response; and
determine that the second track identification data disagrees with the first track identification data after a predetermined time period has elapsed without detecting a response from the second tracking system.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the first track identification data is associated with a first global track identifier (GID) and wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
receive the second track identification data from the second tracking system; and
associate the second track identification data with a second GID.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein to transmit to the first tracking system information pertaining to the second track identification data, the one or more processors are further configured to:
transmit the second track identification data and the second GID to the first tracking system.
13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
associate the first track identification data with a first global track identifier (GID);
associate the first GID with a physical track;
disassociate the first GID from the physical track in response to determining that the second track identification data disagrees with the first track identification data; and
associate the physical track with a second GID corresponding to the second track identification data.
14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the first track identification data includes a flight parameter.
15. A non-transitory tangible computer-readable device having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, causes the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:
