1. Apparatus for communications management in respect of a moving platform having:

  • a dynamic planner configured to generate a communications plan utilising one or more of a plurality of communications planning strategies;

    at least one platform application; and

    a communications system configured to effect wireless data communication of data received from a platform application by means of one or more supported communications links in accordance with said communications plan;

    wherein said apparatus comprises;

    an interface function between said dynamic planner and said communications system, said interface function including;

    a communications executive module; and

    a communications management module;

    said communications executive module being configured to receive, from said communications system, condition data representative of a prevailing situational and/or environmental condition affecting a current communications plan during mission execution, generate re-plan request data and transmit said re-plan request data to said communications management module;

    said communications management module being configured to generate plan request data in response to said re-plan request data and transmit said plan request data to said dynamic planner, said plan request data being configured to cause said dynamic planner to generate a revised communications plan and transmit said revised communications plan to said communications system;

    wherein said plan request data is generated by said communications management module by selecting a strategy from said plurality of communications planning strategies, based at least on said condition data, and generating said plan request data including data representative of said selected strategy; and

    wherein said communications management module is configured to transmit said plan request data to an authorisation module for assessment and, in response to a positive assessment of said plan request data, the communications management module is configured to transmit a re-plan request to said dynamic planner.
