2. FAA Presentation to CAR/SAM ATN/GNSS Seminar, Varadero, Cuba, May 2002 The objective of this presentation is to describe the main air/ground applications of the developing data link based Air Traffic System (ATS). (The use of data links allows the ATS to achieve its performance goals relating to safety, capacity and the expeditious movement of air traffic while reducing the requirement for voice communication and spectrum demand.) Presentation Objectives This presentation is based on material in the ICAO Manual of Air Traffic Services Data Link Applications (Doc 9694) ATSDL_001_4 02
