CANSO Academy: Trajectory Based Operations (TBO) Enablers: Advanced Communication, Navigation, Surveillance (CNS) Technologies and Services
This webinar will focus on advanced CNS air-ground communication and data exchange capabilities as a key enabler of TBO.
While primarily focusing on Air Traffic Services Baseline 2 (ATS B2) data link Automatic Dependent Surveillance – ContractExtended Projected Profile(ADS-C and EPP) and Controller Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC), the webinar will also address connected Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) over System Wide Information Management (SWIM).
Panelists will discuss benefits, technical capabilities and function, implementation planning, operations and challenges. Topics will include Aeronautical Telecommunication Network (ATN) infrastructure, Future Air Navigation System-C with 4-Dimensional trajectory data (FANS C/4D) avionics, multi-link data communications, enhancing information security, and the Iris Global ATS B2 programme.
