Currently experienced the dawn of the Aviation 4.0 era is transforming the contemporary technological environment, throughout the whole aeronautical industry, by creating cyber-physical systems. Following the evolutionary path, incorporating advanced automated and first autonomy systems, the applications involved are becoming increasingly data- oriented. The need for progressive data analytics, massive adoption and operation of IoT devices, delivering advanced monitoring and machine learning opportunities, building the core structure for artificial intelligence, will put a significant pressure on data communication and connectivity itself. In the near future, the problems may especially arise in datalink used in civil aviation. This research paper briefly studies the contemporary systems used for datalink, determines dominant aspects of Aviation 4.0 and their overall impact on the performance requirements of the data communications network, and proposes the possible solution to the problematics, with newly emerging LEO satellite mega-constellations providing Internet connectivity. The conclusion of this paper highlights the requirements for future data communication systems and determines whether the existing and proposed datalink subnetwork technologies are capable of meeting the demands established by Aviation 4.0.

Data communication and management represent a crucial part of future systems in aviation. Huge recent technological advancements have led the whole aeronautical industry into the new evolutionary era called Aviation 4.0. The goal of Aviation 4.0 is the creation of cyber-physical system, following the path from advanced automation, to very first autonomy systems efficiently assisting human. This system involves multiple direct data related applications and devices, including AI analytics, massive use of IoT devices, machine learning capabilities, or advanced monitoring. Due to needed enormous flow of data, current connectivity solutions are becoming insufficient for the future use cases. Near future connectivity problems may become very apparent in datalink. With exponentially increasing amount of data needed by the future aircraft systems, higher datalink communication capacity and better performance of datalink subnetwork are required to meet the higher performance standards and levels of operational safety. This paper offers complex overview of current datalink communication technologies, planned concepts and possible solutions to the problem, in the form of new datalink technology – LEO mega satellite constellation offering Internet connectivity. Through basic deductive research, paper is aimed to study existing datalinks and proposed new LEO satellite communication datalink, evaluating their performance based on the future datalink requirements stated in studied plans and roadmaps. Furthermore, Aviation 4.0 dominant aspects are studied, requirements on future data communication technology are declared, and the possible use cases of Aviation 4.0 smart aircraft systems are showed. The objective of this paper is targeted to determination whether any of the researched datalink subnetwork would comply with Aviation 4.0 future datalink requirements.

This paper proposes a novel scheme for inter-connecting IOT devices with servers. To overcome the drawbacks and other shortcomings of existing IoT network schemes, a new approach to IoT device certification and inter-connecting IoT devices to other network devices (e.g., aggregators and servers) is described. The proposed approach ensures that the overall IoT network is “hardened” against attack and meets the stringent requirements of mission critical applications.
