Real Time Ground Based Flight Data And Cockpit Voice Recorder

Real-Time Ground-Based Flight Data and Cockpit Voice Recorder Unique text determining the feasibility for implementation and manufacture of ground-based black box systems Real-Time Ground-Based Flight Data and Cockpit Voice Recorder helps familiarize the reader with the nature of issues surrounding existing black box technology integrated on aircrafts and to understand the benefits and importance of proposed real-time ground-based alternative solutions. These are based on predicting aircraft problems while in flight, including understanding the feasibility of using the already existing space and ground-based wireless technologies infrastructures for this purpose. The authors discuss expense reductions in the crash investigation when implementing the new concepts in this book as compared to existing procedures when aircraft accidents occur. The text also opens new research ideas for future investigations. Simulation codes are included to allow for further independent exploration into the covered concepts and ideas. Topics covered in the book include: Satellite Data Transfer Implementation, including basics of the technology, channel data rate, PSTN-based satellite implementation, and expected availability of spectrum Very High Frequency Digital Link (VDL), including modes, sublayers, data transfer, packet and frame structure, and number of channels needed to support a certain number of airplanes Modern Airplane Communication Technologies (including direct air-to-ground communication using 5G) and terahertz band communications; and their integration into aviation communications Black box final architecture and connectivity, including ground and UAV connectivity, and general black box wireless communications challenges For aviation industrial engineers and technical staff, managers, and aerospace and academic researchers, Real-Time Ground-Based Flight Data and Cockpit Voice Recorder is a valuable guide to existing and future technology to successfully predict aircraft problems during flight.

Aircraft accident investigation centers upon the analysis at all available information about the accident flight in the period leading up to the final catastrophe. Key among the sources at information is date captured and recorded in the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder, which are often referred to as the aircraft black boxes". Par some accidents, this flight data may he lest entirely or partially damaged and largely unusable. The aircraft flight data recorders are the only place where flight data is recorded. This single recording paint is a vulnerability to the availability at flight data that can be addressed by creating another place where the data is stored. This thesis examines the feasibility at and discusses the technical framework necessary tar a system that transmits flight data tram an aircraft to a ground recording station. The focus will be upon the requirements tar security and assurance at the information flow, so that the confidentiality, integrity, availability and authenticity at the data are ensured.
