The infrastructure required to support the interconnection of automated ATM(Air Traffic
Systems) is referred to as Aeronautical Telecommunication Network(ATN). The design of ATN
allows communication services for different groups ie., air traffic services(ATS),
aeronautical operational control(AOC),aeronautical administrative communicatons(AAC) and
aeronautical passenger communications(APC).The design provides for the incorporation of
different air-ground subnetworks (eg., SSR Mode S, AMSS, VDL) and different air-ground
subnetworks, resulting in comman data transfer service.
