Future Communications Study Technology Assessment
Future Aeronautical Communication Infrastructure Technology Investigation
Size: 32.5 MiB, April 1, 2008
Gilbert, Jin, Berger, Henriksen, FAA/NASA/ITT FCS Technology Investigation Final Report, NASA Contractor Report CR-2008-215144, April 2008. Summarizes and documents the work performed to investigate technologies that could support long-term aeronautical mobile communications operating concepts for air traffic management (ATM) in the timeframe of 2020 and beyond, and includes the associated findings and recommendations made by ITT Corporation and NASA Glenn Research Center to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Unmanned Aircraft System Control and ATC Communications Bandwidth Requirements (Paper)
Size: 8.1 MiB, February 1, 2008
Henriksen, NASA/ITT UAS Study Task Final Report, NASA Contractor Report CR-2008-214841, February 2008. There are significant activities taking place to establish the procedures and requirements for safe and routine operation of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in the National Airspace System (NAS). Among the barriers to overcome in achieving this goal is the lack of sufficient frequency spectrum necessary for the UAS control and air traffic control (ATC) communications links.
Additional Technologies and Investigations for Provision of Future Aeronautical Communications
Size: unknown, February 1, 2008
Gilbert, Jin, Berger, Henriksen, FAA/NASA/ITT FCS Phase III Study Final Report, NASA Contractor Report, CR-2008-214987, February 2008. Documents the indepth studies on select technologies that could support long-term aeronautical mobile communications operating concepts. This work was performed during the third and final phase of NASA’s Technology Assessment for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)/EUROCONTROL Future Communications Study (FCS) under a multiyear NASA contract. It includes the associated findings of ITT Corporation and NASA Glenn Research Center to the FAA as of the end of May 2007.
