GLOBAL ink ARINCPETAL IIeVDL Mode 2, ATN…and beyond Prepared for: ATN2001 18 September 01 Sarah MacLellan (slm@arinc.com)
ARINC’s Goals for PETAL IIe • Demonstrate viability/suitability of CPDLC over VDLM2/ATN • Work out many technical and ops issues for CPDLC over VDLM2/ATN in a trials environment • Forcing function to keep forward momentum for CPDLC • First step toward full operations: US-based CPDLC program, and Link 2000+
ARINC’s PETAL Role • Test partner with Rockwell Collins on VDL M2 • US mini-network to support AAL certification • European network, coverage for Maastricht UAC airspace
ARINC-Rockwell Collins VDL M2 Testing • Testing 3/00 through 4/01 • AVLC • Also took advantage of concurrent AOA work • v8208 • Integration of ATN • End-to-end RC-ARINC-EUROCONTROL Experimental Centre (EEC) testing 2-4/01 • ARINC Ground Test Station (AGTS) in Cedar Rapids • Production hardware • Production software • Test/instrumentation code
US Certification Mini-Network • AGTSs at TUL and DFW • Routers and network management in Annapolis • Connection to EEC and Maastricht (via EEC) • Installed early Apr 01 • Test flights late Apr - end of May • Certification flight 29 May

Technical Lessons Reaffirmed • Complex interaction among air and ground components • Lab testing only takes it so far • Flight operations necessary to identify operational issues
VDL M2 Technical Items • AEEC • Timer values at v8208 and TP4 layers • Timer implementation inconsistency in specifications • Signal Quality Parameter (SQP) calculations/ air-initiated handoff scenarios • RF Signal in Space strength variable due to combination of antenna location, aircraft attitude, ground antenna pattern, and structural or geographic influences • PETAL team completing identification, investigation, and recommendation on all anomalous behavior seen during the trials
Programmatic Lessons Reaffirmed • Strong central lead is imperative • Committee and congeniality takes you only so far - every once in a while you need a boss • Integration Team concept works • Stakeholders committed to success • Frequent interchange of status
PETAL IIe a Success • Demonstrated viability/suitability of CPDLC over VDLM2/ATN • Worked out many technical and ops issues for CPDLC over VDLM2/ATN in a trials environment • Forcing function/kept forward momentum for CPDLC • First step for full operations: US-based CPDLC program, and Link 2000+
VDL in Europe • PETAL network status in review • Customer base, location • AOA coverage starts late 2001 for Airbus • 3 VGSs (Toulouse, Lyon, Nice) • 2002 and beyond: expand coverage • AOC equipage expected to precede ATM • Specific station/coverage schedules planned with customers • AOC coverage expansion ~ ACARS, as customers equip • Work with airlines, ATS Providers to plan support required for Link 2000+
CPDLC Build 1 • 9 Station network with redundant routers, connections to FAA • PETAL+ functionality (network management, PETAL II identified modifications) • Network install 4Q01 • Operational testing with FAA and AAL through to 6/02 • 6/02 Initial Daily Use (IDU) • CPDLC Build 1A will drive network expansion beginning 12/03
US VDL Deployment • Four additional AGRMs deployed • Annapolis (2); Chicago (2); Livermore (1); New York City (1) • Ground stations/VDL kits installation @ 3/week • sites selected, surveyed, and installs scheduled • Planning for 50 sites deployed by year end 2001, remainder in 2002
VDL Coverage Phases - CY 2002 Plan 175 Sites Phase 4 estimate Phase 3 fill in) Phase 2 fill in
PETAL IIe single-handedly has influenced the course of data link implementation in Europe and US Demonstration Validation Risk Reduction First Step (breaking the chicken/egg challenge) Thank You EUROCONTROL and American Airlines for PETAL IIe/ATN!
