Data Link Processor (DLP) Operational Test and Evaluation/Integration Test Plan

Abstract

The provision for two-way communication with aircraft, via a digital data link, has long been considered a means of providing significant enhancements for safe and efficient flight operations. The Data Link Processor (DLP) being tested will initially perform the ground-based data link processing functions necessary to provide appropriately equipped aircraft with pilot requested aviation weather data from a National Weather Data Base via the Mode Select Beacon System (Mode S). The weather data base will contain six products: Surface Observations (SA), Terminal Forecasts (FT), Pilot Reports (UA), Wind and Temperature Aloft Forecasts (FD), Radar Summaries (SD), and Hazardous Weather Advisories. The DLP Operational Test and Evaluation/Integration Test Plan depicts all systems that interface with the DLP, and identifies the data that will be communicated between them. This plan sets forth and defines the philosophy, approach, methods, organization, and schedules for the verification of the DLP requirements. This plan provides sufficient detail to define and direct the development of detailed test procedures and to identify the allocation of resources required to support those tests. (RRH)
