IDS AirNav has signed a contract with a new client, the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN), for the supply and support of an advanced aeronautical information management system.
CAAN is responsible for civil aviation and air navigation services over approximately 150,000 square kilometers of airspace and on the 34 operational airports in Nepal.
The contract includes the deployment of the AMHS (Aeronautical Message Handling System) and CRONOS systems. CRONOS is a platform for the dissemination of aeronautical information such as NOTAMs (Notice To Air Men), which inform flight crews about route conditions, radio navigation aid efficiency, and any changes in the availability of airspace or runways in use, as well as weather data and pre-flight briefing bulletins.
CRONOS, a high-performance, high-availability digital archive, thanks to its integration with the AMHS messaging system, governs and facilitates the exchange of aeronautical information, making it easy to read and disseminate among all aviation stakeholders such as airports, airlines, air forces and weather services. The system is expected to be operational by 2025.
IDS AirNav is pleased to announce that the 2024 AeroSIG was held in Rome on October 1st and 2nd, 2024!
This year, the event consisted of two full days of engaging activities, featuring a plenary session on the first day and breakout sessions on the second, along with team activities to break the routine.
IDS AirNav presented their current offerings face-to-face to all participants, and discussed the evolution of the complete range of products that IDS AirNav manages with the industry experts.
IDS AirNav has won a contract with Fiji Airports LTD for the supply, installation, testing and commissioning of the CRONOS and the AMHS (Aeronautical Message Handling System), two advanced systems for the management and exchange of aeronautical information.
Fiji Airports is responsible for air traffic control over 15 airports on the Fiji Islands, including the two international airports at Nadi and Nausori, and over an airspace of more than 6 million square kilometers.
In detail, CRONOS is the platform for the dissemination of aeronautical information, such as NOTAM (NOtice To Air Men) to inform flight crews about conditions along the route, the efficiency of radio navigation and any changes in the availability of airspace or runways in use, weather data (OPMET) and pre-flight information bulletins (PIB).
CRONOS, a high-performance, high-availability digital archive, thanks to its integration with the AMHS messaging system, governs and facilitates the exchange of aeronautical information, making it easy to read and disseminate among all aviation stakeholders such as airports, airlines, air forces and weather services.
IDS AirNav has awarded the procurement of ROMATSA – the ANSP of Romania – the ROMAirTCM – ROMATSA Air Traffic Complexity Management Tool, for managing complexity in the context of defined operational constraints, in support of the decision to optimize its management in all stages of ATFCM (Air Traffic Flow and Capacity Management), respectively at the strategic, pre-tactical, tactical and post-operational level of air traffic control activity. Also, the IDS AirNav solution will support R&D analyses, carried out for operational purposes.
IDS AirNav solution will contribute to optimised capacity and operational activity efficiency, as well as to increasing the level of safety, while reducing the environmental impact of pollution of the ROMATSA controlled flights.
The IDS AirNav solution will be delivered, installed and configured at ACC BucureČti operational room dedicated to the pre-tactical and tactical evaluation of the air traffic load.
The IDS AirNav Traffic Complexity Tool will help Romatsa operators and managers to perform quick and effective analysis during their shift. The tool performs traffic monitoring against available capacity and runs what-if analyses prompting users with the operational impact of these recommendations. The operators always keep focus and awareness on key points avoiding time-consuming tasks.
IDS AirNav has won the tender for the supply of the dynamic aeronautical information management system in Norway to AVINOR, the Norwegian Air Navigation Service Provider.
The contract provides for the implementation of the innovative CRONOS system already in use by ENAV itself and the Italian Air Force in addition to the consolidated Sweden, Denmark, Iceland and Romania and recently also chosen by the Taiwanese Civil Aviation Authority.
The system object of the supply will be implemented in a plan of about 2 years in line with the expectations of European regulations (replacing the previous one after about 25 years) and will also including the supply of technological evolutions in the SWIM field.
The CRONOS system will support the management of traditional and digital NOTAM messages, MET data, flight plans, ATS messages and pre-flight bulletins (PIB) by responding to current and future ICAO ASBU recommendations and the European Sesar Deployment Manager requirements on the relevant CP1 legislation of Digital Notam and the SWIM paradigm for data digitization and distribution.
This new contract consolidates the close collaboration between ENAV and the Norwegian ANSP AVINOR which made and considered the choice of the CRONOS solution as the most advanced in the context of the tender, adding another northern European country of fundamental strategic importance in the European and international scenario.
India’s ANSP Airport Authority of india (AAI), has renewed its trust in IDS AirNav, by signing a contract to upgrade the static aeronautical information management system in India.
The contract involves upgrading the current AIM system in operation at AAI by implementing the system for airport and obstacle data management (eTOD system), approach and departure procedure design (FPDAM) and validation (FPSAT), airspace management and design (Airspace Design), and optimization of their capacity (Airspace Coordination). As part of the project, specific “on-the-job” training is planned to train personnel to use the systems during operational phases.
This project will enable Airport Authority of India to implement a new integrated and more sustainable way of working among the different departments that contribute to the delivery of aviation services that the client provides on its territory.
IDS AirNav has signed a contract with the air navigation service provider of Taiwan, ANWS (Air Navigation and Weather Services).
The contract, with a duration of 5 years, has a total value of 5 million euro.
âCRONOSâ will be utilized for the management of:
– âAIS-TAMâ Aeronautical Information: events or notifications containing temporary information (new procedures, alerts) essential for the personnel involved in flight operations;
– “OPMET” Information: meteorological information intended for flight planning;
– “ATS” Information: information provided to service providers and authorities, relating to a flight scheduled in a time interval within a portions of airspace;
– Pre-Flight Information Service: presentation of aeronautical and meteorological information relating to data on the route to be covered and on departure, destination or alternative airports.
âCRONOSâ thus adds to the services already provided by the ENAV Group and in use by ANWS, as the system for the design of approach procedures and the system for the publication of aeronautical information, for the benefit of optimized operational processes and improved sustainability.
Pasqualino Monti â ENAV Group CEO â said: âWe are focusing heavily on the not-regulated market, which represents an essential driver to grow the company’s margins. IDS AirNav’s systems are among the most widely used internationally, but I am confident that there is still plenty of room for improvement, thanks also to the capabilities we have in other areas such as training or aviation consulting. We are working to create a true commercial ecosystem that integrates all the capabilities of our Group even more efficiently.â
The contract foresees the supply and assistance of “CRONOS”, a new aeronautical information management system. It is a high-performance digital platform that will be in use in the Taiwanese control rooms and accessible by airports and airlines by 2024.
