Members: Proposed Topic Name: DATALINK General Topic: "Data Link" research activities and interests; Data Link involves the two-way message exchange of air traffic control clearances instructions, weather information, etc. What has been traditionally a radio-voice environment for years, pilots and controllers will now exchange information through a "data link" medium, such as satellite, VHF ACARS, or MODE-S. Information will be displayed on ground and cockpit text display systems. Target Audience: Government, Academic and Industry researchers involved in and/or interested in the design of data link related systems. Those interested in the flightdeck human factors/ergonomics side are specially targeted. Initial focus is in the air transport industry.
