Abstract

Military aircrews are beginning to experience the benefits of having quality global positioning system (GPS) navigation information available in the cockpit to support their tactical missions. However, another big improvement in situational awareness is the new capabilities known as communications, navigation, surveillance/ air traffic management (CNS/ATM). If tactical military are to operate within this new performance based airspace, they require operational RNP RNAV, Mode S, and 1090ES ADS-B functionality. To achieve these functionalities, dual use avionics and integrations must be found to capture civil functionality with military equipment. The bottom line is that tactical military achieves the required functionality or they can expect delays, rerouting, and some airspace exclusions. This paper describes one way to get RNP RNAV, Mode S, and 1090ES ADS-B capability in tactical military aircraft.
