Systems and methods for managing non-integrated CPDLC systems from a first CPDLC system
First Claim
1. A system for implementing a non-integrated controller pilot data link communications (CPDLC) solution, the system comprising:
- a first one or more execution partitions executing one or more first applications including a first CPDLC application;
a second one or more execution partitions executing one or more second applications including a second CPDLC application;
a datalink router for interfacing between the first and second CPDLC applications and one or more radio transceivers; and
a gatekeeper module that monitors messages in the datalink router corresponding to the first CPDLC application and inhibits communication between the first CPDLC application and any air traffic control (ATC) ground station when the second CPDLC application has an active current data authority (CDA) ATC connection.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a method for implementing a non-integrated CPDLC solution is provided. The method includes monitoring a datalink router for messages from a first CPDLC application in a first one or more execution partitions, wherein the first one or more execution partitions are configured to implement a first CPDLC application and wherein messages from the first CPDLC application and a second CPDLC application in a second one or more execution partitions use the datalink router to interface with one or more radio transceivers. The method also includes when the second CPDLC application has an active current data authority (CDA) air traffic control (ATC) connection, inhibiting communication between the first CPDLC application and an ATC ground station by discarding downlink messages of the first CPDLC application from the datalink router.

13. A method for implementing a non-integrated controller pilot data link communications (CPDLC) solution, the method comprising:
-
monitoring a datalink router for messages from a first CPDLC application in a first one or more execution partitions, wherein the first one or more execution partitions are configured to implement a first CPDLC application and wherein messages from the first CPDLC application and a second CPDLC application in a second one or more execution partitions use the datalink router to interface with one or more radio transceivers; and when the second CPDLC application has an active current data authority (CDA) air traffic control (ATC) connection, inhibiting communication between the first CPDLC application and an ATC ground station by discarding downlink messages of the first CPDLC application from the datalink router. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A system for implementing a non-integrated FANS/ATN controller pilot data link communications (CPDLC) solution, the system comprising:
-
a first one or more execution partitions executing an ATN CPDLC application; a second one or more execution partitions in communication with the first one or more execution partitions, the second one or more execution partitions executing a FANS CPDLC application, wherein the first one or more execution partitions are configured to implement a datalink router for interfacing between the ATN and FANS CPDLC applications and one or more radio transceivers; one or more Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) in communication with the first execution partition and the second execution partition, the one or more HMIs configured to display screens generated by the ATN CPDLC application and configured to display screens generated by the FANS CPDLC application; and wherein the first one or more execution partitions includes a gatekeeper module that monitors messages in the datalink router corresponding to the FANS CPDLC application and causes downlink and uplink messages corresponding to the FANS CPDLC application to be discarded when the ATN CPDLC application is logged on, or attempting to establish, a current data authority (CDA) air traffic control (ATC) connection, and wherein the gatekeeper module is configured to allow uplink and downlink messages corresponding to the FANS CPDLC application to pass through the datalink router when the ATN CPDLC application is not logged-on to, or attempting to establish, a CDA ATN connection. - View Dependent Claims (20)
