• Abstract:
  As stated in the Mission Need Statement (MNS) 042 for the Aeronautical Data Link System (ADLS) dated April 23, 1991, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has established an operational plan for the Air Traffic Management (ATM) system of the twenty-first century. In order to realize the Communications, Navigation, and Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) system, the National Airspace System (NAS) will rely increasingly on advanced capabilities provided by ground and airborne automation systems. This document focuses on data communications service requirements for the Controller Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) portion of the Operational Requirements for the ADLS document dated January 3, 1995. The initial implementation of CPDLC includes en route and terminal air traffic operations, with the tower operations considered for later transition. The goal of the CPDLC project is to provide a means of data communications in ATC operations which will be a supplement to air/ground voice communications.
