Proposed Architecture for a Helicopter Information Awareness Module (I-AM)

Abstract

This paper proposes an Information Awareness Module (I-AM) architecture that addresses the innate need for shared battle space awareness among aviation entities in real to near real time. Though this architecture will be described from a helicopter vantage it is not limited to this entity class. Rather the intent has been to adopt an architectural framework that supports a product line approach capable of addressing this basic battle space need of all entities (Air Ground Sea). This shared awareness is facilitated by the tailored exchange of information that by nature should be inherently valuable relevant and timely to any user or platform requiring it.
