An Ocean Platform and Submarine Cable System for the North Atlantic
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 January 2010
Extract
The paper proposes highly stable moored ocean platforms and a transatlantic submarine telephone cable to provide a reliable v.h.f. communication service and other A.T.C. facilities to civil aircraft on the main air routes across the North Atlantic. The main features of the platform and cable system are discussed and some idea of the time scale and costs is given.
The planning of facilities needed to enable future operations over the North Atlantic to accommodate reduced separation standards and to satisfy the specialized requirements associated with operating S.S.T. aircraft has emphasized the present unsatisfactory standard of communication services in the area.
