Airborne Interactive Reconnaissance (AIR) will use current communication technology with tailored software and switching methodology to communicate all necessary asset recovery data including time, GPS co-ordinates, altitude, call sign etc to operate interactively between Aircraft in flight, in conjunction with, but independent of existing satellite and ground tracking systems. The location of a mishap would then hopefully be recorded on the ancilliary data recorder module of any other aircraft that was in the vicinity at the time. All aircraft in the vicinity of a mishap would be aware of same when alerted. Critical data may be retrieved from any or all aircraft in the vicinity at the time. The data will be available on these aircraft (even without an alert) for the pre-programmed over-record cycle times, after they have landed.
