Using ASTERIX CAT-240 for Radar Video Distribution - Practical Considerations from Deployed Applications

摘要

This paper describes the practical use of ASTERIX CAT-240 messages for the distribution of radar video in naval command and control systems. The standard, which has emerged from the European Air Traffic Control community, offers a method of harmonising the exchange of radar video from a sensor or server in to multiple display clienst. This paper describes the background to the standard and explains some of the practical challenges for deployed applications in naval command and control applications.
