ACARS is an acronym for

Airframe Communicating Addressing and Reporting System.
Airborne Communicating Addressing and Reporting System.
Aircraft Communicating Addressing and Reporting System.

Explanation from PART66Online

ACARS stands for Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System, a datalink that exchanges short messages between the aircraft and ground stations. The first word is Aircraft, not airframe or airborne, which distinguishes the correct expansion from the distractors.
