Abstract

AbstractThe future European Air Traffic Management (ATM) System is currently being defined by the Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) programme. Iris is the European Space Agency programme to develop an Air-Ground communication system for the SESAR programme. Within the Iris Programme, ANTARES focuses on the development of a new satellite-based communication system based on the use of low-cost user terminals through the realization of a new satellite communication standard. The present paper describes the system design process defined and adopted in the ANTARES project to cope with the uncertainties of the user requirements The proposed process is based on the definition of System Architecture Options allowing to evaluate the impact of requirements variability on the satellite system design. Each System Architecture Option will implement a set of Design Options which are system or technology solutions adopted to design the system or its elements. An insight on the Design Option relevant to the airborne user terminal features is provided in the paper.KeywordsANTARESL-BandATMSESARSystem design options
