All around the world, aeronautical Communication, Navigation and Surveillance infrastructure is moving from legacy aviation systems to high-capacity IP message exchange networks. A new family of air-ground data link solutions (AeroMACS, LDACS, Iris SATCOM, Iridium CERTUS) is on the way, offering performance-based communications and multilink capability to connected aircraft to enable new cockpit applications such as real-time surveillance and flight information, up-to-date weather forecasts, and command & control.

For airports, airlines, ANSPs and UAS/RPAS operators, IP provides higher capacity and better situational awareness in data-centric flight operations like airport surface management, Airport CDM, airside-groundside integration, 4DT flights, and traffic flow management. Standard, secure, high-capacity IP networks enable SWIM information exchange, web applications, automated decision support and the integration of unmanned vehicles as new airspace users.

Skymantics is helping aerospace organizations manage the evolution to IP network centric architectures, enabling efficient and secure resource sharing. We support open standards (ICAO, EUROCAE/RTCA, AEEC) in interfaces & protocols, required performance, radio interoperability and network management. Our team of experts can facilitate testing and certification of new ground systems and avionics in the appropriate testbed environment, to support product validation against the required safety and performance levels.
