            Abstract : 
This paper reviews the key challenges associated with the development of optical network architectures, technologies and components for WDM-based optical networks in aircraft applications. The architecture and technology challenges highlighted are in part based on recent results from the DARPA RONIA project (contract HR0011-07-C-0028) and the DARPA/Navy NEW-HIP program (contract N00421-03-9-0002).
