Overview of NASA Glenn Aero/Mobile Communication Demonstrations

The Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field (GRC) has been involved with several other NASA field centers on various networking and RF communications demonstrations and experiments since 1998. These collaborative experiments investigated communications technologies new to aviation, such as wideband Ku satcom, L-band narrowband satcom, and IP (Internet Protocol), using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components These technologies can be used to distribute weather and hazard data, air traffic management and airline fleet management information, and passenger cabin Internet service.

Failover Switching Tests Between Two RF Communications Links

This work presents a short report on the routing tests of the Ku band satcom and VHF line-of-sight communications systems on the Advanced Air Transportation Technologies (AATT) Aero/Mobile van. The first section is a description of the equipment used, followed by descriptions of the tests, the theoretical results, and finally, conclusions and the actual data.
