Abstract

Future Air Traffic Management (ATM) communications will rely on advanced satellite and ground based communication means. THAUMAS studies the possibility of using, for the satellite based component, an extension of the Inmarsat SwiftBroadband (SB) satcom service, the current version being already widely deployed and successfully operated by many airlines. This document summarizes the overall THAUMAS approach for the system design. Starting from the analysis of the current limitations of SB, this approach is based on a gradual evolution starting from the key upgrades while starting as early as possible feasibility studies on topics judged as less urgent regarding today’s ATM needs. The final result will be the so called SwiftBroadband-Safety (SB-S).
