This thesis is a description and analysis of the Federal Aviation Administrations National Airspace Data Interchange Network NADIN. The Objective is to define, for telecommunications students, this data interchange network and examine the effect which current network upgrades will have on network performance. Descriptions of the current Data Interchange Network NADIN IA and the next generation Data Interchange Network NADIN II are included as well as information on related FAA programs, most notably the Radio Communications Link RCL. Analysis is presented of NADIN IIs impact on the Federal Aviation Administrations Data Interchange capabilities. Implementation problems with NADIN II are addressed.
