Design and Overview of Oceanic Aircraft Communications

Abstract

Every day the sky carries about 8million people flew on nearly 100,000flights, thus It is very important to coordinate the movement of air traffic to makeairplanes stay a safe distance apart in order to avoid collision, and keep an eye on aircraft during it flight time, The limitation of conventional radar technology, relatively lowaccuracy and the fact that radars are only placed on land, make it difficultor even impossible to track airplanes when they are flying over oceans. The mainobjective of this research is to highlight surveillance technologies and give a simplified method to track aircrafts in non radar areas, simple scenarios were simulated using system tool kit software which is a tool designed for simulating airspace,25 aircrafts paths were selected from 2524 real routes and modeled with simple link budget calculation .
