National Airspace System Communications Operational Concept
Abstract
A requirement for the National Airspace System (NAS) is to provide for communications, as identified in the NAS System Requirement Specification, NAS-SR-1000 (NASSRS). This document presents a concept of operation for air- ground, ground-ground communications connectivity and capability, and national emergency communications. This concept describes the capabilities and shows the relationships between subsystems, facilities, information, and operators/users. It is intended to provide a common perspective for personnel involved in communication activities, assist in determining whether communications meet formal requirements, and support coordination among the organizations involved. This concept describes communications as specified in paragraph 3.6 of the NASSRS including paragraphs 3.6.1, 3.6.2, 3.6.3, and 3.6.4. This concept is one of eight operational concepts. The remaining yet to be written concepts will complete the description of the system requirements as detailed in the NASSRS. The eight operational concepts are: Communications (NAS-SR-136); Navigation (NAS-SR-134); Monitoring (NAS-SR-133); Maintenance and Support (NAS-SR-137); System Effectiveness (NAS-SR-138); Air Defense (NAS-SR-135); Flight Planning (NAS-SR-131); and Support of Military Operation (NAS-SR-3.2.10).
