This effort will place a \"Free Flight Workstation\" in a working Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC), with interfaces to radar surveillance and flight plan data. In addition, avionics intent information from several participating airline aircraft will be transmitted to the workstation via the ARINC Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS), and potentially other experimental data links. Initially, the workstation will provide supplemental conflict advisories to enroute controllers by integrating ground and airborne data sources in its algorithms. While the project is using a ground implementation, it is expected that airborne free flight enabling functions will require similar avionics intent information to be received via data link from other aircraft. This paper will describe the initial set of avionics intent information required from aircraft to perform conflict detection activities, and the architecture being used to obtain this information. Additional information which may potentially be used by follow-on ground or airborne functions will also be discussed.","PeriodicalId":125963,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 14th Digital Avionics Systems Conference","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115132713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Projected constraints, opportunities and trends in several pervasive system building blocks which should be mature by this time frame are discussed and an example of the form this architecture might take is offered. In developing these projections, the author interviewed several technology experts in Industry and Government to help in forecasting the future of military avionics. General conclusions are: (1) costdriven sensor solutions will drive the avionics designs for most military avionics applications in order to meet demanding situation awareness goals, (2) the most pervasive and highest-leveraged building blocks used to build this advanced system will be commerciallyavailable data and signal processors along with advanced A/D converters and digital and RF photonics, (3) a continued increase in time sharing and physical integration at every level of the avionics architecture is projected, including multifunction EO and RF apertures, RF support electronics and a highly integrated digital system, (4) distributed high-speed photonic switches will permeate the architecture to achieve a unified interconnect network across RF, IF, data and signal processing modules built from families of printed wiring boards, (5) advances in packaging and microelectronics will result in the need for liquid immersion cooling and 3-dimensional stacking of RF, digital and photonic circuitry to support integrated apertures, digital receivers and data and signal processors to accomodate the needed speed and functional integration, (6) the digital boundary will move closer to the apertures to enable IF digital receivers for electronic warfare and radar applications (digital receivers up through L-band will have occurred during the Pave Pace era) and will extend the use of photonics beyond the digital arena to where photonically-controlled beam steering for phased arrays, RF signal distribution and hetereodyning will be possible. INTRODUCTION Predicting the characteristics of the next military avionics system beyond Pave Pace, which is not yet demonstrated, is obviously difficult because many assumptions must be made about the future direction of military priorities, budgetary constraints and the degree of success researchers will have in maturing several key technologies. This paper assumes the drive for low cost avionics will continue and that the 20 year system will evolve from the Pave Pace system introduced around the 200710 time frame. Therefore, one of the tasks at hand is to identify pervasive, highly-leveraged building block technologies, unavailable to the Pave Pace system that can further reduce avionics costs. For the 20 year design, these technologies should be in the early stages of prototype device development and significant funding interest must be shown by DoD departments such as the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA).

This is no longer the case. Commercial products and practices offer the potential of reduced costs, lower risk and faster technology infusion. In order to achieve the potential benefits, our current methods of acquisition need change but it is important to review the background behind the institution of military standards and to assess their continued validity and to understand why. Also, before we rush to the conclusion that military specifications and standards are preferred for avionics over commercial products and practices, it is useful to review the specific requirements. In the past, in the absence of military specifications and standards, situations arose where items were developed using existing industrial and commercial products, processes and practices that at times led to catastrophic results or were inadequate to meet the threat. It is comforting that those who demand change show wisdom by asking that change be conducted with care and the impact understood. However, some use hyperbole in condemning the reliance on military specifications and standards and insist that their elimination is a good thing. In the domain of high performance aircraft avionics the potential for change is likely to be limited without an in-depth comprehension of the military environment, requirements and the capability of commercial products to satisfy them.","PeriodicalId":125963,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 14th Digital Avionics Systems Conference","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127469204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aircraft identification was presented to an air traffic controller on AMASS. The onboard electronic map included the display of taxi routes, hold instructions, and clearances, which were sent to the aircraft via data link by the controller.

The U.S. Navy and Air Force have issued waivers permitting MIL-STD-498 to be invoked on contracts. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) are working together to create a nonGovernment software standard.

An aircraft would determine its position from an onboard positioning system such as GPS (Global Positioning System). To demonstrate the feasibility of GPS-Squitter low-altitude surveillance in the Gulf of Mexico, MIT Lincoln Laboratory, in a cooperative effort with the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and industry, conducted a series of tests in the Gulf during November and December 1994. For the tests, three GPS-Squitter ground stations were deployed in the Gulf-two on oil platforms and a third at the Petroleum Helicopters, Inc. (PHI) heliport in Morgan City, Louisiana. The ground stations were used to track three GPS-Squitter-equipped aircraft (two Bell 206 helicopters and Cessna 421); live traffic displays were available in Morgan City, New Orleans, and Houston. This paper describes the configuration of the test vehicles and ground stations. Surveillance performance results are also included for each of the test vehicles.","PeriodicalId":125963,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 14th Digital Avionics Systems Conference","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114548166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
