This document gives an overview of the L-band Digital Aeronautical
Communications System (LDACS) architecture, which provides a secure,
scalable, and spectrum-efficient terrestrial data link for civil
aviation.  LDACS is a scheduled and reliable multi-application
cellular broadband system with support for IPv6. It is part of a
larger shift of flight guidance communication moving to IP-based
communication. High reliability and availability of IP connectivity
over LDACS, as well as security, are therefore essential. The intent
of this document is to introduce LDACS to the IETF community, raise
awareness on related activities inside and outside of the IETF, and
to seek expertise in shaping the shift of aeronautics to IP.

This document is a product of the Reliable and Available Wireless Working Group of the IETF.
