  8. Program Assumptions - General • Data comm is required to transition Agency to NextGen Concept of Operations • Transition to NextGen required by 2025 • Large scope requires partition into phases • Functions/services originated from Communications Operating Concept and Requirements for the Future Radio System, (COCR) due to international coordination and buy-in • Not all COCR services implemented • VDL Mode 2 is the subnetwork

  9. Segment 1 Functionality (2012 – 2017) • Segment 1 Services will include: • Data link logon (DLL) service to provide a unique digital identification of every aircraft • Air Traffic Control clearances (ACL), instructions, and notifications provided in a textual format (data messaging) between controllers and pilots • Departure Clearances (DCL) including revisions transmitted to the aircraft on the ground • Initial use of 4-D Trajectory clearances for continuous descent approaches • Digital Automatic Terminal Information Service (D-ATIS) up-links of airport weather, hazards, and restrictions to the aircraft • Automatic ATC “hand-off” (ACM) data transmitted to aircraft identifying the radio frequency in use by the next air traffic control sector

  10. Segment 2 Functionality (2017 +) • Segment 2 Services will include: • Segment 1 services in TRACONS • Segment 1 services in En Route, plus: • 4-D Trajectory Agreements in Performance Based Airspace, providing conflict-free flight with stable aircraft routing • Conformance Management to ensure aircraft comply with 4-D agreements • Tailored Arrivals/Continuous Descent Approaches and Time-based metering • Arrival Taxi Instructions (ACL, D-TAXI) prior to landing, giving the aircraft detailed guidance from touchdown to gate. • NAS Airport status, delays & constraints, hazardous wx uplinked to the aircrew • Taxi-in / Taxi-out service provides taxi routes for aircraft to follow from the gate to the runway

  13. WG-M Envisioned Activities in support of Data Comm 1. Data Comm – Application level list of anticipated standards modifications/additions Application standards (i.e., CM, CPDLC, ADS-C) may require changes in support of those services specified within RTCA SC-214 Safety and Performance Requirements, and Interoperability requirements for Data Comm services. PM-CPDLC message changes (as developed within RTCA SC-214, like D-TAXI, etc.) – Target Seg 1, and Seg 2. PM-FIS and PM-ADS-C (like the changes in DOC 9880 for PM-CPDLC) – Target Seg 2 (note, the changes for PM-FIS may be required for Seg 1) It may also be necessary to introduce security requirements within the Air / Ground infrastructure in support of the Data Comm program. Such modifications / additions to the international standards would be accomplished within ICAO ACP WG-M (DOC 9880), and/or RTCA SC-214 SG-XX. – Target Seg 2. 2. Data Comm – Subnetwork level list of anticipated standards modifications/additions Due to changes to the implementation characteristics of VDL Mode 2 within AEEC 631, it will be necessary to bring such changes forward to ICAO ACP WG-M for incorporation and acceptance in the ICAO VDL Mode 2 Technical Manual and VDL Mode 2 SARPS. This harmonization of changes support programs such as Link 2k and Data Comm. – Target Seg 1, and Seg 2 VDL Mode 2 Autotune requirements/characteristics updates - Target Seg 1, and Seg 2. VDL Mode 2 Frequency Support List-based handoffs - Target Seg 1, and Seg 2. VDL Mode 2 Frequency Management for multiple frequencies - Target Seg 1, and Seg 2. VDL Mode 2 protocol cleanup related to above changes - Target Seg 1, and Seg 2. Overall harmonization of AEEC 631 implementation characteristics with ICAO VDL Mode 2 Technical Manual - Target Seg 1, and Seg 2.
