Abstract

Safe flying in a future (busy) airspace will require significantly increased volumes of information exchanges, as well as reliable and adequate transfer mechanisms for both the air/ground and the air/air segments. However, current communications systems will not be able to support the estimated traffic growth using today´s operating concept or the upcoming operating concepts already under development. A new air traffic management communications infrastructure is required for the future. A very likely scenario for forthcoming aircraft communications architecture includes satellite links as an essential component in order to meet the required QoS such as coverage, availability, priority and integrity
