The satcom technologies are progressing quickly. The aircraft on-board terminal technologies are doing significant steps in terms of compactness, weight, safety and quality of content.
The new satcom technologies open up new functionalities, like the precision in location of the aircraft or the ability to send data and messages in a highly reliable and highly secure frame.
These new functionalities enable the aircraft to communicate formally via a secured internet protocol, or to engage into trajectory optimisation schemes – as two examples among many others.
As a consequence the air transport will substantially reduce fuel consumption while increasing significantly the quality and safety of data exchanged between the aircraft and its environment, reducing pilot workload and improving aircraft operations.
And this is only the beginning of a new era !
