“…They can also contribute to improved weather forecast accuracy with higher density of measurements. In a study on Tropospheric Airborne Meteorological Data Reporting [4], a strong business case for equipping aircraft to send weather data is identified based on the positive impact of this new system on the aviation sector.…”

“…There are over 40 possible BDS registers that can report valuable data to the ground. Two of the registers: BDS code (4,4) and BDS code (4,5) are designed to hold meteorological data. BDS code (4,4), which is called the meteorological routine air report, holds the following values in its 56 bits: wind speed, wind direction, static air temperature, turbulence, and humidity.…”

BDS code (4,4), which is called the meteorological routine air report, holds the following values in its 56 bits: wind speed, wind direction, static air temperature, turbulence, and humidity. BDS code (4,5), which is called the meteorological hazard report, is composed of the following hazard report values: turbulence, wind shear, microburst, icing, and wake vortex.…”

“…We selected a period with low traffic intensity at the beginning and a change to the summer season with peak air traffic. The radar was configured to interrogate for registers BDS code (4,4) and BDS code (4,5). A little over 6% of all detected aircraft returned at least one meteorological datum.…”

Wireless communications has been a reliable data link means in many aerospace applications, including critical ones. The major concern for using wireless links for aerospace sensors is the feasibility of their in the aerospace setting; i.e., whether wireless links will negatively affect the overall reliability and safety of the aircrafts. In a previous paper, we studied the feasibility issue and concluded that with appropriate choice of wireless communication schemes and parameters, the wireless links can have reasonable immunity to interferences, low interference to other on-board wireless systems, and good security performance. In this paper, we consider the feasibility of adapting an existing technology, IEEE 802.15.4, to implement the wireless links for aerospace sensors, with focuses on immunity to interferences and data security. We conclude that a wireless network based on IEEE 802.15.4-compatible devices is appropriate for non-critical aerospace applications, at least from building a demo system's point of view.
