ACARS/CPDLC Data Links

ACARS is a digital data link Communication System between the aircraft and ATC/Airline Centers for the transmission of text based messages. This technology which has been widely in use since the late 1970s has seen many improvements over the years with contributions from big OEMs like Airbus and Boeing. ATN B1 and FANS 1/A+ are the modern changes in the data link domain.

ALTEN GT has a good System Level understanding of the domain and has participated in System Verification projects. Our teams posses a good working knowledge of uplinks and downlinks, the data formats and the wide range of possible messages that are transmitted.

ALTEN GT has also a good knowledge of ADS-C which is necessary for FANS Oceanic.
