26. AEROMACS AND OTHER DEVELOPMENTS
EASA data link report – REC for further investigations: "VDL2 was not designed for large data exchanges. Therefore, it is essential to expedite the fielding of specific technology for the airport surface (e.g., AeroMACS). In parallel, it is important to explore the use, for en route, of alternative technologies such as satellite-based communication (e.g., ESA project ANTARES or its precursor THAUMAS) and/or new technologies such as L-band Digital Aeronautical Communication System (LDACS)."

27. AEEC standardisation status (1/2)
AEEC has agreed to proceed with the development of an AeroMACS avionics standard in 2 steps:
Step 1: In SAI plenary meetings discuss and agree on what the standard should address
Step 2: Either in SAI or in dedicated group develop the standard per the agreement in Step 1
Kick-off of step 1 was held in June 2014 (SAI meeting)
SESAR contribution: AeroMACS Architecture Options (submitted also as IP in WGS/5, summary in next slides))

28. AEEC standardisation status (2/2)
Key Points:
Participants Support for activity
Clarifications requested on concepts of use (ATM and AOC, AOC only, ?) and US planning
Links to ongoing discussion in AEEC about developing IPS standards or OSI over IPS or both
Next Steps
Telecon 29th July to discuss concept of use, plans and comments on architecture paper.
Next SAI meeting in October in EUROCONTROL
Update architecture paper
Update group with SESAR testing outcome
Further discuss and clarify scope of AeroMACS AEEC standard
