Building ATM readiness: What flight-test data tells us about the next ATM datalink era.
Discover how Boeing’s ATN/IPS and Iris flight trials are shaping the future of connected airspace. This session reveals real performance results powered by the full Iris architecture; from aircraft and satellite links to ground systems and aerorack processing and shows how they translate into operational advantages for ANSPs. Learn how today’s flight data already meets ICAO requirements, how IPS strengthens future compliance, and how OSI and IPS compare in real world conditions. CGI acts as the design authority and prime integrator of the AeroRack, responsible for specifying, integrating and testing critical ATN subsystems that enable both current and next generation datalink services. This includes integration of the Airtel AGR for ATN/OSI and the Frequentis IPS Gateway for ATN/IPS as managed AeroRack subsystems, together with the supporting infrastructure and management interfaces required for operational deployment. ATN/OSI monitoring streams are delivered to Skyguide and Viasat servers, enabling performance analysis, service monitoring and regulatory visibility. The session also draws on CGI’s support to the Iris and eco D ATN/IPS flight trials, including contribution to system readiness and interpretation of collected test data. Attendees will see how today’s flight test evidence already meets ICAO performance requirements, how IPS strengthens future compliance, and how OSI and IPS compare under real world conditions. With clear operational insights grounded in live flight data, this session shows how next generation satellite enabled datalink services are moving from trial to operational readiness, providing a scalable, future proof foundation for a more efficient, digital ATM environment.
