The CANEUS / NASA Workshop opened many eyes to one fact: need for international partnership and cooperation to minimize cables and connectors across the aerospace industry by providing reliable, lower cost, and higher performance alternatives for a vehicle/program's life-cycle. The workshop was held in Grapevine, Texas on March 27-28th, in response to the CANEUS initiative to establish an international forum, through the CANEUS Organization, on wireless alternatives and new innovations such as no-power sensor-tag systems, which precipitate cooperation and partnerships between industry/government customers, system innovators and technology developers.
Over 200 participants representing Canada, US, Europe, Brazil, Japan and other countries met in Grapevine, Texas to identify and enable key partnerships toward implementing “Fly-by-Wireless” in aerospace vehicles where the market shows the highest payback; develop project plans for technology maturation, and put in place the architecture and infrastructure that supports incremental implementation of anticipated technological advancements.
Participants in one session initiated discussion to establish “Aircraft Wireless Working Group (International), under the auspices of CANEUS”. The Working Group mission is to explore international level solutions to the barriers to on-board aircraft wireless implementation especially related to applications, requirements, and spectrum allocation. The CAW-WG partial membership include, AVSI, United Technologies (Chris Van Buiten), EADS (Jean-Pierre Daniel), Bombardier Aerospace (Tim Smith), Boeing Commercial Airplanes (Dave Kirkland), NASA – Glenn Research Center (Jim Griner), Boeing Phantom Works (Ryan Carlson), Honeywell (Vic Thomas, Eric Lautenschlager), Embraer, Brazil (Henrique Alves). Organizations interested to join the Group, please contact: CANEUS Chairman, Milind Pimprikar at mp@caneus.org or 514-499-3959 |
