Attendees will have the opportunity to see Atech’s comprehensive portfolio of solutions for airspace management and control
Atech, an Embraer Group company, is participating in the 14th Air Navigation Conference, one of the main events of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), taking place in Montréal, Canada, from August 26 to September 6.
The company will contribute to the discussions on “Performance Improvement Driving Sustainability”, the theme of the conference.
Atech is one of the few Brazilian companies that will be at the event. The company will be demonstrating ATM products from the Makron family, a set of solutions for airspace management and control. Among the technologies is the Single Air Traffic Management Platform (SingleATM Platform), developed in partnership with the Brazilian Air Force’s (FAB) CISCEA (Commission for the Implementation of the Brazilian Airspace Control System).
The Single ATM Platform will be responsible for increasing the cybersecurity level of ATM systems, adhering to international standards, and can be hosted on local hardware or in a private or public cloud. “We are developing a customized platform for DECEA, to integrate and modernize the programs of the Brazilian Airspace Control System (SISCEAB). The SingleATM Platform will also be suitable for any ANSP (Air Navigation System Provider) in the world,” says Edson Fagundes, ATM Business Manager at Atech.
With an established reputation in Brazil, Atech has a long-standing strategic partnership with DECEA (Department of Airspace Control), and is responsible for developing and updating the main Brazilian air traffic management systems, such as the ATC SAGITARIO system, the ATFM SIGMA system, the ATC PLATAO simulator, the SWIM AQUILA platform, AMHS, among others.
ATM Automation System
At the conference, Atech will also demonstrate ATMAS (ATM Automation System), an “ATC as a service” model, where the air traffic management system is made available to the ANSP without the need for the ANSP to acquire hardware or support infrastructure. In addition to deployment, the company is also responsible for support, technical assistance and all necessary repairs to the hardware and system, at no additional cost to the customer, who pays for a subscription during the contractual period.
All over the world
In addition to leading technological advances in ATM in Brazil, Atech has a strong presence in the international market, with its technologies and systems being used in Latin America, Africa and India. Among the products on the global market are Skyflow (ATFM) and Leo (IFPS) in India, both adapted to the country’s specific needs and in compliance with Eurocontrol standards.
Makron Family
Atech provides a complete set of air management solutions that enable ANSPs to provide take-off to landing, gate-to-gate air navigation services, offering maximum safety, reliability and efficiency. The ATM product portfolio of the Makron family includes:
SKYFLOW (ATFM): Designed to calculate airspace demand and capacity balance based on regulated elements. The CDM (Collaboration Decision Making) environment allows stakeholders to plan airspace balance strategically, as well as during the pre-tactical and tactical phases, where TMI (Traffic Measurement Initiatives) can be applied to maintain airspace balance.
SAGITARIO (ATC): This is a modern, integrated ATC solution that provides air traffic controllers with a set of operational tools to support their decision-making processes. The system offers accurate situational awareness from various types of sensors, flight plans and weather information to provide comprehensive situational awareness to the ATCO.
PLATAO (ATC SIMULATOR): A simulator system that supports training and simulations for air traffic controllers. It allows the instructor to explore as many different operational scenarios as possible, making trainees more experienced in real situations.
LEO (IFPS): This initial flight plan system was developed to centralize, process and distribute flight plans to the stakeholders involved. It can be integrated with the eFPL JANUS app, a flight plan filing app for mobile devices, which eliminates errors and increases the security and speed of flight plan submission.
JANUS (AMHS): Based on robust, clustered technology, it provides uninterrupted messaging services for multiple interconnected subscribers. Based on a user-friendly interface, user agents can send/receive various types of ATS messages based on pre-formatted forms.
COSMOS (R-AFIS): Offers features specifically designed to provide flight information services as an AFIS (Aerodrome Flight Information Service) to aerodromes in remote locations, optimizing the use of specialized operational personnel.
AURA (OPMET): This is a weather information repository in which agents periodically report the weather conditions in a given area, which can be accessed by general aviation and airlines.
AQUILA (SWIM): It is a platform for providing interoperability between different ATM systems, harmonizing information for different stakeholders, using international standards for publishing and consuming information.
