Abstract
This thesis proposes the design for a prototype device that would be used by Air Traffic Controllers in the radar environment to input tactical Air Traffic Control (ATC) instructions to be sent to aircraft via the Mode S digital data link network. The purpose of the device is to reduce the time required to issue instructions and to eliminate misunderstandings that occur when instructions are issued over voice transmission frequencies. The purpose of this thesis was to develop the device in the most ergonomically suited manner based on the air traffic controller's communications requirements. Digital communications systems include both airborne and ground based components. This project was concerned with the development of the ground-based aspect of the communications system.
