3 Study objectives Assess the feasibility of using IP to support the next generation of collaborative ATS air-ground applications Taking advantage of COTS components, where possible Identify a representative sample of Data Link Services that will be deployed in the 2020+ timeframe Derive a common set of application requirements that an IPS implementation must satisfy if it is to be deployed Investigate the use of the IPS over a representative sample of air-ground, ground-ground and air-air networks This phase of work will result in a set of top down application requirements, and bottom up information on how the IPS is expected to be implemented and what it can provide.
