Aeronautical Connectivity Aeronautical Connectivity is the communication connectivity used in Aviation environments to support aircraft operations and related onboard or ground-linked services. Service Model Air-to-Ground Link An air-to-ground link is a communications link that enables data transfer between an aircraft and ground-based or space-based network systems. It is a mobility-sensitive transport path used for service, telemetry,… Concept/Framework Airborne Relay Airborne Relay is a communications relay carried by an aircraft, drone, or other airborne platform to extend coverage or bridge a gap by forwarding communications over terrain, distance, or damaged… Hardware Aircraft Telemetry Aircraft telemetry is the transmission of aircraft status, sensor data, and operational events to a receiving system on the ground or in another control domain. It supports analysis, maintenance, and… Operations Antenna Gain Antenna Gain is a measure of how effectively an antenna concentrates energy in a given direction compared with a reference antenna. It influences both transmit and receive performance. Hardware Atmospheric Absorption Atmospheric Absorption is the loss of electromagnetic energy as radio waves pass through the atmosphere due to interaction with atmospheric gases, resulting in propagation loss that reduces received signal strength. Concept/Framework Attitude Control Attitude Control is the management of an object's orientation in space. It is used to maintain pointing, stability, or alignment in vehicles and platforms. Concept/Framework Beam Coverage Beam Coverage is the spatial area over which a radio beam provides usable service. It describes the footprint of signal availability from a directional beam, determined by antenna pattern, transmit… Concept/Framework Beyond Line Of Sight Command Link Beyond Line Of Sight Command Link is a command path that allows remote control when the operator and vehicle are not in direct visual range. It extends command reach through… Operations Communications Payload Communications Payload is the payload portion of a spacecraft or platform that performs the communications mission. It handles the useful communications function of the asset. Hardware
