2 What is GA? - GA Definitions are ambiguous: The British Business and General Aviation Association: All aeroplane and helicopter flying except that performed by the major airlines and the Armed Services UK General Aviation Awareness Council (GAAC): All Civil Aviation operations other than scheduled air services and non-scheduled air transport operations for remuneration or hire Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) Germany: General Aviation is all civilian flying except for Scheduled Passenger and Cargo Airlines (OR: It s Individual Air Traffic, just like driving a vehicle on the streets for most different nonscheduled purposes) 2 Copyright 2011 Honeywell

5 GA ATC Possible future VDLm2, L-DACS, WiMAX, SATCOM voice DATA TRANSFERS Command Reception confirmed Confirmed by Pilot Execution confirmed More than just new radio is needed for GA (HMI, data processing ) 5 Copyright 2011 Honeywell

6 UT Key Design Drivers Affordable for all IFR aircraft - Equipage cost should be comparable to nowadays IFR equipage For small GA needs to be in the order of several thousands of EUR - For aircraft already equipped with datalink and satcom systems, the impact on existing avionics need to be minimized Ideally just SW upgrades of existing equipment and as little HW modifications as possible - Communication Standard designed to allow low cost avionics Low gain antenna, single carrier transmission, no forced air cooling - For non-equipped aircraft (small GA) we need extremely simplified, small and cheap solution Limited features, services, simple HMI - Public funding reduces avionic supplier investments nonrecurring cost element reduced - The core technology (waveform, core HW elements ) should be developed once and reused across more products 6 Copyright 2011 Honeywell

7 UT Key Design Drivers (cont d) Technically suitable for all IFR aircraft - Different limitations for different aircraft Size, weight and form factor constraints (25x15x10cm / <4kg for small GA) Absence of forced air cooling HPA design constraints Antenna size and location constraints small low gain antenna needed Integration with existing avionics Number of substantially different products needed UT#1 Optional interfaces User I/O Sensor UT#2 Antenna Voice VHF radio PFD, MFD.. Standalone product for low end GA retrofit Airplane avionics LRU type of product for high end GA 7 Copyright 2011 Honeywell

8 UT Key Design Drivers (cont d) Coexistence with existing and future COM radios - Implementation integrated with next generation Inmarsat satcom avionics possibly a SW upgrade only - For future aircraft possible integration with other COM radios Substantial modification of aircraft radios and COM architecture Addressed in SESAR Iris waveform is expected to become part of future flexible radio products Mixed Development Assurance Levels (DAL) - Objective is to minimize amount of SW and HW which needs to be designed above DAL D - Avoid or absolutely minimize need for recertification of already existing SW and HW 8 Copyright 2011 Honeywell

9 Small GA UT form factor and installation Many options including for example Dash-board mounted (including HMI) Avionics bay radio interconnected with GA glass cockpit 9 Copyright 2011 Honeywell

10 Large GA form factor and installation Numerous options for split between SDU and avionics bay and the Antenna Unit near the antenna - Different options may be suitable for different aircraft ANT Diplexer LNA RF_RX HPA RF_Tx ANT RF to IF down conversion IF to RF up conversion Diplexer LNA RF_RX Ant. Unit HPA RF head control signals RF_Tx Ant. Unit ADC+ optional preproc. DAC+ optional preproc. RF to IF down conversion IF to RF up conversion ANTARES IF signal Processor (L1 and L2) ADC+ optional preproc. DAC+ optional preproc.
