Objective

ATENAA project is aimed at the following objectives:
- Define the concept for a future networked avionic environment including both moving platforms (aircraft and satellites), ground infrastructures and the related users and communication systems

- Evaluate and develop the technologies needed for the management and the security of the avionic network

- Assess a common set of requirements and the HW and SW technologies needed for:
- enhancing the performances of present avionic communication systems (in terms of efficiency, transmission speed, etc.)
- implementing the future avionic communication systems to be used in the avionic network- Test and validate some emerging HW technologies against their applicability in the realization of broadband communication systems for the avionic networked environment:

- HW technologies for Ka-band communication systems (with particular reference to TX and RX avionic phased array antenna realization)

- HW technologies for Optical communication systems (both for outside-aircraft data links realization and for inside-aircraft broadband bus implementation)

- Evaluate the overall performances and define a common baseline for the future demonstration and implementation of the avionic networkATENAA project's objectives are in line with the following objectives of FP6-2002-Aero-1 call:
