VDL Mode 2 Program 2001 Development Activities
  • AOA
  • Develop and deploy first maintenance release in
    June
  • Enhance AQP capability
  • Deployment RF test/analysis accomplished
  • Avionics Interoperability Testing for AOA and
    ATN
  • Collins underway (AOA and ATN)
  • Airbus/Aerospatiale underway for AOA
  • Boeing type certification underway
  • FAA interoperability tests underway (ATN)
  • EuroControl PETAL tests underway (ATN
    ground/ground)
  • Honeywell imminent (AOA)
  • Teledyne imminent (AOA)

7
VDL Mode 2 Program 2001 Development Activities
  • ATN
  • PETAL
  • Software test near completion and fielded within
    the next 30 days
  • end-to-end CPDLC message delivery proven over the
    RF
  • AA 767 w/Collins CMU/ARINC ATN network/Maastricht
  • 5 of 6 Ground stations deployed in Europe
  • 2 AGRMs deployed in Europe
  • ATN routers deployed
  • Engineering network operations center established
  • PETAL aircraft certification
  • Two AGTSs deployed and operational at
    Dallas-Fort Worth and Tulsa
  • Aircraft certification underway
  • PETAL operational from May through October 01

8
VDL Mode 2 Program 2001 Development Activities
  • ATN
  • Deployment Activities for Miami Airspace
  • Coverage requirements defined with FAA and
    American Airlines
  • Ground Stations fielded as part of AOA deployment
    in 2001 and early 2002
  • additional Florida and Caribbean sites required
  • ATN Service Operational in December 01
  • Will support CPDLC Build I and AOC needs
  • ATN initially cut-over to limited geographical
    area
  • Expansion to operational service cloud in
    Florida in early 02

VDL Mode 2 Service and Ground Station Roll-Out
  • Initial Operational Capability Established
  • 2001 Deployment Activities Encompasses
  • Installing over 80 VDL retrofit kits for
    currently deployed VDL-capable ground stations
  • Beginning deployment of over 90 new ACARS/VDL
    operational ground stations
  • Over 20 retrofit kits fabricated to date
  • Deploying Air/Ground Routers/Regional Managers
    (AGRMs)
  • Establishing VDL Mode 2 ATN IOC capability
  • 2001 Deployment Coverage
  • Continental US focus is en-route cloud and CPDLC
    coverage
  • Europe focus is cloud to support Airbus VDL
    production certification

11
VDL Mode 2Service and Ground Station Roll-Out
  • VDL Ground Station Deployment Approach
  • Long lead parts ordered and fabrication underway
  • Operational testing underway to ensure smooth
    implementation (especially at high volume
    critical airports)
  • Begin deployment at _at_ 20 ground stations per
    month in 2Q01 with the following focus
  • VDL kits for already deployed VDL-upgradeable
    ground stations
  • New VDL ground stations for Miami airspace and to
    fill in holes in en-route VDL coverage

Summary
  • One Big Milestone Accomplished and Several To Go
    in 2001
  • VDL Mode 2 Is Reality Now
  • The Focus of 2001 is
  • PETAL
  • Deploying VDL Mode 2 ATN capability for AOC and
    CPDLC
  • Expanding VDL Mode 2 Coverage
  • Continuing to Work with Industry for VDL Mode 2
    Air/Ground Interoperability
