Project P15.2.6: Main objective
ESA Iris Programme aims to
design, develop, validate
a satellite-based communication system for ATM safety Coms
supporting the future ATM Concept of Operations
for 2020 and beyond.
P15.2.6 aims to develop requirements,
perform complementary activities of validation
and support standardization.

Project P15.2.6 Specific objectives
• Define operational concept for future Satellite system in a multilink environment
• Identify and characterise interfaces and interoperability aspects of the satellite component within the overall SESAR infrastructure.
• Develop elements of Test-Beds for end-to-end validation and integration with other tests beds developed in Iris project and other SESAR WPs in accordance with SESAR Operational Concept.
• Validate the Iris development from an end-to-end point of view, verifying the compliance between the EATM Performance Target and the SATCOM system Concept of Operation in a simulated real time environment.
• Support and promote satellite communication system standardization process in regional international standardizations bodies (EUROCAE, ICAO etc.)
16
Current Status
• Project has just started (May 2010)
• Activity 5 (standardisation support) work plan is being discussed with partners
• ECTL NEXUS group is planned to be used to facilitate input to ICAO

Project P15.2.7 and 9.16: Overall Aim and Structure
Define, validate and demonstrate
a technical profile and architecture
for a new airport surface communication system (AeroMACS)
based on 802.16e IEEE standard
by studying, developing, integrating and testing
system prototypes
• Project 15.2.7 covers overall system aspects and ground component
• Project 9.16 covers airborne component

REFERENCE
MATERIAL
Project P9.16 scope
• System requirements and architecture definition for the airborne side
• Specification and development of airborne prototype for mainline aircraft
• Specification of test objectives and procedures for airborne side.• Integration of the airborne prototype in a representative mainline
aircraft environment• Testing in real environment (on airport, using a/c representative
platforms, and up to integration in a real flight test a/c), • Advanced studies (limited effort): MIMO studies, integrated
antennas, WiMAX evolutions (e.g. 802.16m)
