Aeromacs Implementation Analyses

Abstract

The FAA is currently in the process of developing a strategy for the implementation of the Aeronautical Mobile Airport Communications System (AeroMACS) in the National Airspace System (NAS). AeroMACS networks will provide high-data-rate communications in the airport environment in support of Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) operations. At the request of the FAA, the MITRE Corporations Center for Advanced Aviation SystemDevelopment (MITRE/CAASD) has provided technical inputs to the AeroMACS strategy development team, and performed technical analyses of AeroMACS scenarios. These analyses will provide inputs for future channelization planning activities, and will facilitate the definition of use cases for Concept of Operations (CONOPS) development. MITRE/CAASD has also performed an analysis to identify potential NextGen Operational Improvements that AeroMACS networks could support.
