Standards for the Future Satellite Communication System
NEXSAT SG established a subgroup to facilitate standardisation activities for the future satellite communications system. The group aims to help the update of the existing AMS(R)S SARPs to include more stringent performance requirements and develop recommendations for a future system meeting the updated requirements. The group is referred as the NEXUS group and ECTL will act as the facilitator of the discussions.

Air Ground Communications Focus Group (AGCFG/5) and NexSAT Steering Group (NexSAT/10) on 24-25 March, 2009, Brussels
The meeting of the combined AGCFG/5 and NexSAT/10 was held on 24th and 25th of March 2009, in Brussels.

About 60 representatives from different organizations have attended the meeting with about 28 technical presentations given.

An update on the satellite developments was given and in particular the meeting discussed the potential options for a new standard for satellite communications supporting more stringent performance requirements. It was proposed that the NexSAT SG would facilitate the development of a consensus proposal/material for subsequent input to ICAO. The meeting agreed to create an ad-hoc sub-group led by Eurocontrol to address this issue.

In addition the meeting provided an update on the FCI developments through technical presentations. For the Standardisation and SESAR activities, an update was given of the ICAO/ACP and SJU relevant developments, along with a briefing on the WRC2011 preparations and the Civil/Military COM aspects.
