CM/CPDLC Test Facility
Objectives
• Offering an inter-operability testing platform
for LINK 2000+ Baseline
• Support to Avionics and Airlines
• Support to Maastricht and other Ground
implementations
• Support in deployment of Ground-Ground
infrastructure (and Ground to Air-Ground
infrastructure )

CPDLC Air and Ground
Test Tools Functionality
• Implement LINK2000+ Baseline Air and
Ground messages sets with support of single
and concatenated messages
• Support of Test Error cases:
– Invalid message sequences, wrong message ID
– LACK not sent
– Unsupported messages
• Automatic generation of messages with
configurable period (to stress remote system)

VDL M2 LAB Test Facility
Objectives
• To get a system in LAB functionally as similar
as is possible to the operational system:
– verification of VDL M2 intended functioning
– close look at VDL M2 Handoffs
• To be able to conduct end-to-end CPDLC
testing in LAB via VDL M2
• To get expertise on the ACSP VDL M2
equipment
• To help in investigations of real environment
VDL M2 problems

VDL M2 LAB Test Facility
Functionality
• Core component: the ARINC VDL M2 AGTS
– Operationally equivalent ATN/VDL M2 capable
Test facility
– Includes two VGSs and associated VDRs
– Includes Variable RF attenuators for simulation
of live mobile environment
– Includes A/G BIS and G/G BIS routers
– Allows registration of traces in VGSs and
monitoring of the VDL M2 traffic from a third
VGS/VDR set
