Interface standards for integrated forward-looking/predictive/reactive windshear systems

摘要

Forward-looking windshear systems are developing to a point (particularly the infrared sensors) where their interface with the cockpit and reactive windshear systems needs to be defined. As airlines retrofit their aircraft with reactive windshear systems, it is important to recognize that onboard windshear systems of the future will be a combination of both forward-looking and reactive elements. Today's reactive systems need to be built with the capability to interface with the forward-looking systems of tomorrow. This presentation is a first step at looking at the requirements and defining interface standards for integrated forward-looking and reactive windshear systems. Undoubtedly the requirements for interfacing these types of windshear systems will change as the technology changes.
