Cost benefit study: Java on the aeronautical telecommunication network (ATN)

This document is a cost benefit approach to the downloading of Java software into on-board air traffic management (ATM) systems via the aeronautical telecommunication network (ATN). 

It gives insight into the requirements for the downloading of software and develop a base case with reference to the EATCHIP ATM 2000+ strategy. It then shows where additional cost have to be expected and investigates areas of benefit : the reduction of acquisition cost for airborne systems and system components, the shortening of implementation cycles and the reduction of maintenance effort.
