GSE-A380
Ground Support Equipment



KEY OWNER/USER BENEFITS
  • Create AOC-A380 (Airline Operational Control) database
  • Windows® PC-based tools offering advanced AOC-A380 application development, modification and test capabilities
  • Provides user with complete flexibility for AOC-A380 development, modification and testing
  • Integrated tool



OVERVIEW

The Ground Support Equipment GSE-A380 is an application builder used to develop or modify an AOC-A380 application for Airbus A380 aircraft. It allows a user to run and evaluate the actual AOC-A380 application in an emulated environment. GSE-A380 eliminates the need to utilize the aircraft as a test platform.


DESCRIPTION

Rockwell Collins Data Link AOC development and test tools are specifically designed to provide the user with a low-cost set of tools for creating, modifying and testing Airline Operational Control (AOC) applications.

GSE-380 tool is composed of four modules:

  • ACT (AOC Customization Tool) to customize the AOC-A380 Database
  • AVT (AOC Verification and Validation Tool):
    • Provides a simulated environment to validate a customized AOC-A380 (Emulation of the A380 configuration)
    • Run and evaluate the AOC-380 application
    • Representative of the On-board segment (NSS + Avionics)
    • Representative of the Ground segment (ACARS Ground Centers)
  • AMG (AOC Media Generator):
    • Builds an AOC database package
    • Input for external load builder tool
  • ADG (AOC Documentation Generator)
    • Generates documentation relative to the customized AOC in various formats (PDF, HTML.)
    • Generates documentation for training

The configuration database manages AOC database history. The GSE-A380 uses a graphical user interface. The Rockwell Collins engineering staff uses the GSE-A380 for the creation and modification of AOC-A380 applications for numerous customers.
