EU Project to Harmonise Aircraft Communication

摘要

The EU funded Seamless Aeronautical Networking through integration of Data links Radios and Antennas (SANDRA) project is working to integrate today's complex and disparate aircraft communications into a coherent digital architecture, merging a full range of applications and services. "We use digital communications in every facet of our lives. Just look at the number of people who have smart-phones and tablets. But often aircraft rely on a combination of decades-old analogue communications and a separate satellite-based system, making cockpit communications both complex to use and inefficient. SANDRA is bringing cockpit communications into the 21st century by simplifying the process for pilots and providing the platform for many more advanced services," said Dr. Markus Werner, managing director of project partner TriaGnoSys.
