Abstract :
A study to identify and begin to evaluate communication technology candidates expected to meet the long-term data communications needs of the post NextGen National Airspace System (NAS) was completed, considering how the NAS and communications technologies will evolve during a 50-year NAS modernization time horizon. This paper summarizes the research effort and the high level results and findings from the study. This study was completed by employees of Rockwell Collins as part of a NASA Research Announcement (NRA) agreement.
