Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 AND 1.1.1 The objective of this part of the manual is to provide technical specifications and guidance material to ICAO Member States and the international civil aviation community on the SwiftBroadband (SBB) aviation satellite system, which provides AMS(R)S communications for the safety and regularity of flight in procedural airspace. The SwiftBroadband aviation satellite system is operated globally by Inmarsat. This manual is to be considered in conjunction with the AMS(R)S SARPs contained in Annex 10, Volume III, Part I, Chapter 4 [1]. 1.1.2 This part of the manual consists of the following chapters: Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: Overview of SwiftBroadband Chapter 3: Compliance Matrix to Annex 10, Volume III, Part I, Chapter 4 (SARPS) [1] Chapter 4: Institutional and Operational Guidance for the use of SwiftBroadband This part of the manual has been developed in advance of any system and ATM validation activities. It references the RTCA SBB MASPS [2], Attachment 1 Inmarsat SwiftBroadband Specific Material, for the full technical description of the SwiftBroadband system, in order to avoid duplication of technical material. The RTCA SBB MASPS [2] also contains a list of system requirements. Detailed requirements on the aircraft terminal are provided in the RTCA SBB MOPS [3]. 1.2 1. "Annex 10 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, Aeronautical Communications, Volume III Communication Systems, (Part I Digital Data Communication Systems)," International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), Montreal, July, 2007. 2. "Minimum Aviation System Performance Standard for AMS(R)S Data and Voice Communications Supporting Required Communications Performance (RCP) and Required Surveillance Performance (RSP) in Procedural Airspace”, RTCA, Inc., DO-343, 21 August 2013. 3.
