SUMMARY OF WORK TO BE PERFORMED:

The development of an integrated Enhanced Long Range Navigation eLoran/Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver will directly benefit the long-term growth of civil aviation, commercial transportation and the Communications, Navigation and Surveillance research area by providing a foundation for future cost-effective positioning and navigation services that have a high level of reliability, availability, and coverage. The desire to embrace satellite based positioning systems during the continued modernization of the National Airspace System (NAS) will be supported by mitigating the GPS vulnerability problem. The main objective of this effort is the evaluation and improvements of the Airborne Internet Architecture strengths and weaknesses along with demonstrating the concept to stakeholders and the aviation community. The work effort will produce the Airborne Internet Research Lab at the Technical Center, which will include several Airborne Internet Configurations. The A.I. Research Lab will tightly interface to the WJHTC Air Traffic Simulation Lab. Some work at NASA locations may involved as NASA continues to cooperate in the program. The research will leverage open standards and protocols for a peer-to peer network system architecture and for increased bandwidth for mobile transportation applications. Airborne Internet will be the basic infrastructure to which the Collaborative Information Environment (CIE) will be utilized by aircraft.

The final product will be a programmable receiver that is field deployable and cost effective in order to allow for future larger scale testing.
