This webinar is the second in a series, organised by the SESAR JU and EUROCONTROL, presenting LDACS, a new aviation communication system. It follows on from the first “A general introduction to LDACs” by focussing on the technical details and capabilities of LDACS for communications and integrated CNS.
The webinar set off with the ANSP perspective, starting with operational needs that drive towards LDACS. From there a full overview of all LDACS capabilities was explained, zooming in on the technical performance requirements of datalink, digital voice and alternative position, navigation and timing (A-PNT). The remaining time was dedicated to the technical architecture providing details on many aspects, including frequency range, duplex spacing, channel grids, technical functions and protocols.
