The technical, institutional and economic environment which resulted in several years of delay regarding digital air/ground communications has shifted significantly. First, the technology is here and affordable to construct digital air/ground systems. Secondly, the airlines have decided on separate data links for ATC and business communications, simplifying greatly the institutional facets of data links. Thirdly, further automation of the airlines' flight control and dispatch functions makes digital air/ground an essential architectural element of these systems. Fourthly, the 'all-digital' aircraft of the near future now makes possible a new level of on-board system monitoring and control, but requires a compatible digital air/ground communications network. Finally, but probably most critical, the airlines have given considerable thought to the utility and value of extending their ground based systems to the aircraft. The result of this changing environment has been the development and implementation of a digital air/ground communications network by Aeronautical Radio Inc., termed ACARS, for ARINC Communications Addressing and Reporting System.
