Adverse Impact of Covid-19 on Avionics Sector to Limit Demand for Aircraft Communication Systems
Aircraft communication systems are very important to maintain the safe and efficient operation of air traffic control as well as the smooth travel of military aircraft. How does an aircraft communication system work? First the data from the satellite communication is processed through the software-defined radio system of the aircraft. Once processed, this data is then converted to audio and sent to the radio operators at the control center. This process allows for real time commands and responses and allows for safe travel for military and commercial transportation activities. For example, if a missile launch warning is received from a military aircraft, military radars would allow the aircraft to turn around and return home safely without an operator needing to react and lost contact could lead to serious damage or collision. Through SATCOM, we can receive clear voice communications from the cockpit; however, during bad weather or low-visibility circumstances these systems can...
