DASC 2016 - 2016 IEEE AIAA 35th Digital Avionics Systems Conference (DASC)

The conference will continue to maintain a focus on aircraft
avionics and air traffic management systems. Emerging research, development, and
analysis related to avionics equipage, aircraft interoperability, and ground and space-based
infrastructures are significant drivers for both the North American NextGen and Single
European Sky (SESAR) Initiatives.
TECHNICAL CHALLENGES REMAIN:
? Past mandates ? impacts and improvement potential in relation to compatibility and retrofit
possibilities, systems engineering, and displays
? Current mandates ? expectations and new requirements such as authentication and
encryption, information assurance, and communications
? Future mandates ? policy and technology drivers for significant improvements in safety
and efficiency, user operations, and security
? Decision-support tools, Information Management Systems, and Knowledge-based systems
to improve situation awareness, decision-making, predict change, and provide safe
solutions in space, air, and ground systems
? Reliable Communications, Navigation, and Surveillance technologies to enable the
implementation of future ATM systems to include Sense and Avoid systems that provide
autonomous safe self-separation
? UAS and other technology Introduction into the Global Airspace.
