COM13 — Air Traffic Services (ATS) datalink using SatCom Class B

Communication services in terms of datalink systems and services are required in support of i4D and Aeronautical information data sharing.

The Iris Precursor service establishes the necessary communication infrastructure to support interoperable Oceanic and Continental i4D operations.The Iris Precursor service deploys an aviation communications service based on the existing Inmarsat SwiftBroadband (SBB) service. This would augment existing VHF Datalink (VDL) capability in Europe to improve current Link2000+ and planned I4D ATS datalink services delivery through increased reliability and capacity, and help establish satellite communications as a key component in the future ATM communications landscape.

NOTE FOR MILITARY AUTHORITIES: It is the responsibility of each military authority to review this Objective IN ITS ENTIRETY and address each of the SLoAs that the military authority considers RELEVANT for itself. This has to be done on top and above of the review of "MIL" SLoAs which identify actions EXCLUSIVE to military authorities.
