  1. GLOBAL ink ARINCPETAL IIeVDL Mode 2, ATN…and beyond Prepared for: ATN2001 18 September 01 Sarah MacLellan (slm@arinc.com)

  2. ARINC’s Goals for PETAL IIe • Demonstrate viability/suitability of CPDLC over VDLM2/ATN • Work out many technical and ops issues for CPDLC over VDLM2/ATN in a trials environment • Forcing function to keep forward momentum for CPDLC • First step toward full operations: US-based CPDLC program, and Link 2000+

  3. ARINC’s PETAL Role • Test partner with Rockwell Collins on VDL M2 • US mini-network to support AAL certification • European network, coverage for Maastricht UAC airspace

  4. ARINC-Rockwell Collins VDL M2 Testing • Testing 3/00 through 4/01 • AVLC • Also took advantage of concurrent AOA work • v8208 • Integration of ATN • End-to-end RC-ARINC-EUROCONTROL Experimental Centre (EEC) testing 2-4/01 • ARINC Ground Test Station (AGTS) in Cedar Rapids • Production hardware • Production software • Test/instrumentation code

  5. US Certification Mini-Network • AGTSs at TUL and DFW • Routers and network management in Annapolis • Connection to EEC and Maastricht (via EEC) • Installed early Apr 01 • Test flights late Apr - end of May • Certification flight 29 May

  6. Tulsa VGS X.25 switch ARINC AAL Cert VDLM2/ATN Architecture Maastricht UAC GBIS1 ATN ES - P2GW- MADAP GBIS NR MUAC AGR1 ARINC Regional ATN GBIS2 AGR2 Dallas VGS EEC/Bretigny NetMgt ANP STNA

  7. 29 May Certification Flight Final Track 2152z

  8. ARINC European Network • PETAL IIe (VDLM2/ATN) network • 6 VDL Ground Stations (VGSs) • 2 Air/Ground Router/Regional Managers (AGRMs) • 2 Ground Boundary Intermediate Systems (GBISs) • Installation May - June 01

  9. Berlin VGS Frankfurt VGS X.25 switch ARINC Petal IIe VDLM2/ATN Architecture Hamburg VGS Maastricht UAC GBIS Frankfurt ATN ES - P2GW- MADAP GBIS NR MUAC AGR Frankfurt ARINC Regional ATN GBIS London AGR London London Gatwick VGS EEC/Bretigny NetMgt ANP STNA Amsterdam VGS Paris VGS

  10. Expected PETAL-IIe VDLM2 Coverage 25k Feet MSL

  11. Technical Lessons Reaffirmed • Complex interaction among air and ground components • Lab testing only takes it so far • Flight operations necessary to identify operational issues

  12. VDL M2 Technical Items • AEEC • Timer values at v8208 and TP4 layers • Timer implementation inconsistency in specifications • Signal Quality Parameter (SQP) calculations/ air-initiated handoff scenarios • RF Signal in Space strength variable due to combination of antenna location, aircraft attitude, ground antenna pattern, and structural or geographic influences • PETAL team completing identification, investigation, and recommendation on all anomalous behavior seen during the trials

  13. Programmatic Lessons Reaffirmed • Strong central lead is imperative • Committee and congeniality takes you only so far - every once in a while you need a boss • Integration Team concept works • Stakeholders committed to success • Frequent interchange of status

  14. PETAL IIe a Success • Demonstrated viability/suitability of CPDLC over VDLM2/ATN • Worked out many technical and ops issues for CPDLC over VDLM2/ATN in a trials environment • Forcing function/kept forward momentum for CPDLC • First step for full operations: US-based CPDLC program, and Link 2000+

  15. So where does ARINC VDLM2/ATN go from here?

  16. VDL in Europe • PETAL network status in review • Customer base, location • AOA coverage starts late 2001 for Airbus • 3 VGSs (Toulouse, Lyon, Nice) • 2002 and beyond: expand coverage • AOC equipage expected to precede ATM • Specific station/coverage schedules planned with customers • AOC coverage expansion ~ ACARS, as customers equip • Work with airlines, ATS Providers to plan support required for Link 2000+

  17. Long Term Planned VDL Coverage ~ ACARS

  18. CPDLC Build 1 • 9 Station network with redundant routers, connections to FAA • PETAL+ functionality (network management, PETAL II identified modifications) • Network install 4Q01 • Operational testing with FAA and AAL through to 6/02 • 6/02 Initial Daily Use (IDU) • CPDLC Build 1A will drive network expansion beginning 12/03

  19. CPDLC Build I Coverage Map

  20. US VDL Deployment • Four additional AGRMs deployed • Annapolis (2); Chicago (2); Livermore (1); New York City (1) • Ground stations/VDL kits installation @ 3/week • sites selected, surveyed, and installs scheduled • Planning for 50 sites deployed by year end 2001, remainder in 2002

  21. VDL Coverage Phases - CY 2002 Plan 175 Sites Phase 4 estimate Phase 3 fill in) Phase 2 fill in

  22. PETAL IIe single-handedly has influenced the course of data link implementation in Europe and US Demonstration Validation Risk Reduction First Step (breaking the chicken/egg challenge) Thank You EUROCONTROL and American Airlines for PETAL IIe/ATN!
