Airborne Internet andVSAT Program Objectives

A ubiquitous data link architecture that supports network connectivity amongaviation users by employing Open Source or COTS reliant

protocols and products to the maximum extent

Demonstrate that NASA/ SATS goals can be supported by asingle Airborne Internet (AI) data link technology appropriately configured to

handle the capacity, integrity and availability requirements of aviation

ERI (en-route integration) operations

1. ATS service connection via VPN (Tech Center Test En Route Traffic simulations)2. Flight planning and flight service support3. SATS a/c monitoring and alert service via SATS Net Control Center.

HVO Core Technology

1. AMM (air/ground system)2. GPS/WAAS approach guidance3. Airborne flight integration of nav-surv with flight controls4. Datalink for real-time weather

SPP (single-pilot performance) concepts

1. CD&R module2. FIS and TIS uplinks with ground conformance monitoring3. EHV/HUD flight guidance

“Establish a facility for air/ground operations that supportsphysical and remote integration of all capabilities andproducts to be flown in the 2005 VSAT flight demonstration.”
