Abstract: A system for centralized management of access subnetwork selections is disclosed. The system comprises an Internet protocol-based communications management (ICM) client located on an onboard server of each of one or more vehicles, and an ICM server located at a ground center. The ICM server is in operative communication with the ICM client on each of the one or more vehicles. The ICM client on each of the one or more vehicles is operative to communicate with the ICM server through one or more subnetworks, which are in operative communication with a ground network. The ground network communicates with the ICM server.

Abstract: A method and system for a smart data query are disclosed. The method comprises automatically monitoring one or more data sources that transmit lower fidelity data, and automatically looking for one or more salient features in the lower fidelity data to determine whether more data is needed. When more data is needed, the method identifies a data source that provides higher fidelity data that corresponds to the needed data. The higher fidelity data is then received from the identified data source. The method then updates information, consumable by a system or an operator, with the received higher fidelity data.
