TAILIEUCHUNG - NEWSKY – Networking the Sky for Aeronautical Communications

An overview of the NEWSKY project (“NEtWorking the SKY”) is given. This project is co-funded by the European Commission within the 6th Framework Programme and has started in February 2007. The main goal of the NEWSKY project is to show that the integration of different communications systems and different applications into a global, heterogeneous network for aeronautical communications is feasible and how this integration can be achieved. The envisaged applications comprise not only Air Traffic Control (ATC) and Air Traffic Management (ATM) but also airline and passenger communications (AOC, AAC, APC) | NEWSKY - Networking the Sky for Aeronautical Communications F. Schreckenbach M. Schnell and S. Scalise German Aerospace Center DLR Wessling Germany Phil Platt QinetiQ Malvern UK Abstract An overview of the NEWSKY project NEtWorking the SKY is given. This project is co-funded by the European Commission within the 6th Framework Programme and has started in February 2007. The main goal of the NEWSKY project is to show that the integration of different communications systems and different applications into a global heterogeneous network for aeronautical communications is feasible and how this integration can be achieved. The envisaged applications comprise not only Air Traffic Control ATC and Air Traffic Management ATM but also airline and passenger communications AOC AAC APC . The aim of NEWSKY is not the development of new link technologies rather NEWSKY aims to develop an innovative networking concept to integrate different existing and emerging link technologies into a single global network for a secure seamless and robustly redundant communication system which is scalable to cope with future long-term increasing demands. High benefits are expected from the increased information availability and information sharing possibilities that the NEWSKY network will enable. Introduction Today flying is still one of the safest ways to travel or transport goods worldwide. The Air Traffic Control ATC and Air Traffic Management ATM systems achieving this level of safety are well established and work very reliable. However the expected ongoing growth in air traffic will lead to bottlenecks in air transportation in the near future if existing ATC ATM systems and paradigms are not changed. This is especially true for aeronautical communications a key enabler for an efficient and safe air transportation system. The capacity of the existing ATC ATM communications infrastructure is already strongly saturated and according to Eurocontrol it is expected that the existing systems in .
