The aeronautical environment will change significantly in the near future creating an increased need for efficient data communication. Although the general trend of the expected transformation is predictable, the details are subject to highly dynamic changes. Consequently simulations within this environment have to be able to reflect alternating requirements. By the application of service oriented architecture concepts a simulation suite robust against changing requirements has been developed. It is the intention of our work to achieve this goal, while keeping the architectural complexity low and fostering the incorporation of existing simulation tools. Additionally this approach allows the decomposition of complex simulation challenges into simpler sub-tasks; large scale simulations are easy to conduct through distributed processing. However, the gain of lower complexity is bought by a certain loss of computational performance. This paper presents an application of SOA principles to the simulation of aeronautical wireless communication. The simulation architecture used for the assessment of the B-AMC aeronautical communication technology is described in detail.
