Although this marked the 21st consecutive successful launch by Orbital in a row, this was the first Pegasus launch performed with a new navigation system, the Honeywell Space Integrated Global Positioning System (GPS)/Inertial Navigation System (INS). The intent of this paper is to present the efforts that went into integrating the Space Integrated GPS/INS (SIGI) on the Pegasus by Orbital and Honeywell in order to make the Pegasus SIGI primary navigator, debut an extremely successful launch. This paper discusses and presents the simulation testing and software verification performed at Honeywell Defense & Space Electronic Systems (DSES) space business in Clearwater, FL for the unique Pegasus missionization and actual flight performance data measured by Orbital during the SCISAT-1 launch from Vandenberg air force base.","PeriodicalId":422463,"journal":{"name":"The 23rd Digital Avionics Systems Conference (IEEE Cat.

The implementation of this design is used for a global positioning systems such as in 3ATI avionic display systems. This interface design is specifically for Actel ProASIC/sup PLUS/ programmable FPGA chip in behavioral and data flow levels using VHSIC hardware description language (VHDL). Libero integrated design environment software is used for implementation. Synthesis was done with synplicity, while simulation and post-synthesis were done with ModelSim. Verifications were operated at the hardware level.","PeriodicalId":422463,"journal":{"name":"The 23rd Digital Avionics Systems Conference (IEEE Cat.

Improvements such as the flight management system (FMS) allow aircraft to fly preplanned paths with precision. Attempts to take advantage of improved aircraft guidance to make approaches, arrivals, and departures in the terminal area more uniform and predictable are consequently a natural development in air traffic control. The use of area navigation (RNAV) routes is one example of exploiting the current avionics technology to improve/simplify operations. In this study we look at the consequences and implications for arrivals of the fact that not all aircraft are yet RNAV equipped. The interplay of equipped aircraft (that fly the route according to the FMS) and non-equipped aircraft (which must be vectored) was studied in terms of controller technique, controller training and familiarization, controller comfort level, and the resultant impact on the efficacy of the air traffic control (ATC) operation. The effects of specific factors such as variation in turn execution, variation in speed profiles and airspace use were objectively measured. Three arrival routes of increasing complexity were simulated. One complex route was examined using a varying mix of equipped and unequipped traffic at a fixed, steady state rate. Controller in the loop simulations indicate that the percentage of non-RNAV traffic that can be accommodated on a complex arrival route is about 20 percent, and show at the rates simulated, that it was not necessary to segregate equipped and non-equipped aircraft. The simulation results indicate that the tolerance for non-RNAV aircraft may be even higher for simple arrival routes. Other results of the controller in the loop simulations are presented in detail: reduced flying distances, reduced communications workload, reduced fuel burn and reduced variance in the inter-aircraft arrival times can all be correlated to increasing the percentage of the aircraft that are RNAV equipped. These results argue that there are benefits of aircraft flying RNAV routes.","PeriodicalId":422463,"journal":{"name":"The 23rd Digital Avionics Systems Conference (IEEE Cat.

Pendse","doi":"10.1109/DASC.2004.1390814","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/DASC.2004.1390814","url":null,"abstract":"The cockpit voice recorder (CVR) and digital flight data recorder (DFDR) are the traditional black boxes used in general and commercial aviation aircrafts. These are used to record vital audio and aircraft parameters. Substantial time and monetary expense are incurred after an aircraft accident to retrieve the black boxes and sometimes the recorders are found damaged and unreadable which further inflates aircraft accident investigation time and expenditures. The CVR typically records the voice conversations within the cockpit on 2 (or 4) different channels for a duration of 30 minutes. The DFDR records the aircraft's vital parameters over the entire duration of a flight. The CVR records information in such a way that only the last 30 minutes of voice is available. As a supplement to the existing CVR/DFDR, the authors present the possible transfer of the acquired voice, video and data from the airplane to the ground stations. This transfer is envisioned to be carried out by (a) utilizing the available data link being employed for IP connectivity between the airplane and the ground station to stream live data, voice and video traffic to the appropriate servers on the ground, or (b) storing the data, voice and video streams locally within the airplane and downloading them to the appropriate servers on the ground station. Since numerous aircraft are expected to be in-flight at any given point of time, the management of the downloaded voice and data within the ground stations could easily become a scalability issue. While file transfer mechanisms like FTP provide considerable flexibility in the deployment of DAP, a scalable means of catering to hundreds of airplanes simultaneously would be the adoption of file I/O and block I/O based data transfer mechanisms. Different I/O mechanisms including (a) network file system (NFS), (b) Internet small computer system interface (iSCSI), and (c) enhanced network block device (ENBD) were considered for the current work.","PeriodicalId":422463,"journal":{"name":"The 23rd Digital Avionics Systems Conference (IEEE Cat.

Supersector suggests a shift of paradigm from sector-division to sector-regrouping, i.e. instead of subdividing sectors to accommodate traffic growth, Supersector investigates a new control organization and practices from which traffic in large volume of airspace can be managed by teams of controllers with responsibilities no more restricted to sector-planning and radar-control but span from real-time traffic flow organization to conflict solving. In this way, it is expected that Supersector can help filling the gap between long-term predictive issues of central flow management, and short-term adaptive issues of radar-control, and thus moving from the today's non-synchronous Air Traffic Management System to a synchronous one, from a sector-control working methods to a network and flow management one, from conflict-based control to a time-based control one. A human-in-the-loop demonstration has been realised and allowed to validate the hypothesis and to identify the pros and cons of such a synchronised ATM. Time-based ATM architecture, 4D contract of service, teamwork, trunk-structured airspace design, medium-term anticipation and layer planning working methods have been explored and results are discussed.","PeriodicalId":422463,"journal":{"name":"The 23rd Digital Avionics Systems Conference (IEEE Cat.

This paper presents a methodology for quantitatively comparing the inherent suitability of candidate bands. Attainable link capacity, which varies with carrier frequency and directly affects the overall spectral efficiency of a system, is used as suitability metric. Capacity bounds are derived from fundamental frequency-dependent propagation characteristics and design constraints imposed by operational system requirements. \"Acceptable\" and \"optimal\" frequency ranges (in which attainable link capacity exceeds 10% and 80% of maximum, respectively) are identified for various system implementations involving different combinations of antenna directionality, link direction, and link bandwidth. It is shown that, depending on the implementation considered, the optimal frequencies may fall within a range as narrow as 80-160 MHz or as wide as 40-4500 MHz (although, of course, only a small fraction of the \"optimal\" range could realistically be made available to any new aeronautical system). The methodology could serve as an analytical basis for evaluating future proposals for adjusting band allocations, so that new systems can be placed in bands where they will operate with maximal effectiveness and spectral efficiency.","PeriodicalId":422463,"journal":{"name":"The 23rd Digital Avionics Systems Conference (IEEE Cat.

The paper describes actual occurrences of Byzantine faults in several different systems. A taxonomy of methods for combating the problem is presented with examples of each method.
