“…The cost of hybrids also requires further investigation due to the potential dual use of a link. Hybrids with other applications such as Tropospheric Airborne Meteorological Data Reporting (TAMDAR) [10,11] could also be considered in an integrated weather capability for aircraft.…”

This paper 1,2 presents terminal-area and en-route communications networking concepts that aim to help meet future aviation requirements. Future aviation applications, combined with increasing air traffic density and aging and antiquated systems, will significantly change the National Airspace System (NAS) and result in a need to develop and adopt new communications technologies. An architectural study for Flight Information Services (FIS) performed by The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL), which considered both near-term and longterm technologies including terrestrial line-of-sight (LOS) systems, satellite communications (SATCOM) beyond LOS (BLOS) systems, and hybrid architectures which seek to use both types of systems, revealed that there are no existing or envisioned communications solutions that are well-suited for the application in all cases. Furthermore, studies of the terminal area reveal that there is a lack of near-term technologies that can address all requirements. This paper presents a vision of an Internet-like NAS networking architecture, and then presents mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) and wireless local area network (WLAN) concepts that could provide significantly improved networking both in the en-route and terminal areas.

Weather is a causal factor in thirty percent of all aviation accidents. Many of these accidents are due to a lack of weather situation awareness by pilots in flight. Provision of strategic weather information during the en route phase of flight can enhance weather situation awareness and enable avoidance of adverse conditions. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has teamed with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), National O ceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), industry and academia to develop technologies for affordable, color graphic display of weather information in the cockpit. These technologies, currently in the initial stages of commercialization by industry, will provide more precise and timely knowledge of the weather and enable pilots in flight to make decisions that result in safer and more efficient operations.
