As subcontractor to a major ATM provider, Si ATM was selected to implement the ultimate fallback system (UFS) to be a part of the new ATM system.

The UFS encompasses a surveillance data processing system including multi-sensor tracking functions for radar and ADS-B, a full set of safety nets and a large number of controller working positions. The human-machine-interface will resemble the main system’s displays in order to facilitate controller interactions.

The UFS system will be delivered during 2012.

More information soon…

The new system will perform centralised multi-sensor tracking with data from PSR/SSR and Mode-S radars as well as multilateration and ADS-B. Flight data processing will be fully automated with OLDI procedures according to latest specifications. It will be capable of handling the change to the new flight plan format that will enter into force in November 2012. Controller working positions will utilize the latest technology and the operational concept will be both strip and paperless.

MoldATSA will also benefit from the following state-of-the-art functionality:

• Safety nets
• Monitoring aids
• Medium term conflict detection
• CPDLC – Controller Pilot Data Link Communication
• Pre-departure clearance
• Full integration with Central Flow Management Unit CFMU

All fulfilling Eurocontrol specifications and recommendations.

The contract also includes new consoles and uninterruptable power supply systems.

The tender was won in competition with some of the most distinguished companies in the ATM domain and Si ATM’s proposal was judged the most advantageous regarding functionality, schedule and price.

The photo shows Director General of MoldATSA, Cornelia Vaselita-Barbaros, and Si ATM Managing Director, Christer Schorling, at the signing of the contract. Mr. Schorling expressed great satisfaction that MoldATSA had selected Si ATM’s highly advanced ATM product and predicts that this might set a standard also for coming tenders.

Press release

Given the significant role Si ATM has had both on the development and maintenance of TERCAS, it was natural for a delegation of Si ATM board members to participate in the celebration. Several speakers recognized the important contribution of Si ATM to the TERCAS success story, stressing the positive Russian – Swedish relations created along these 30 years. In his speech, Si ATM’s Managing Director, Christer Schorling, congratulated the Moscow Centre to their great success and expressed gratitude for the excellent cooperation during these years. He also underlined the fundamental role of Si ATM for this success and declared Si ATM’s intention of caring for the valued relations by providing its support for the years to come.

TERCAS, the ATM system of Moscow FIR, handles en-route, terminal and aerodrome control at a number of aerodromes in a vast Russian area. Delivered from Sweden, TERCAS went operational in April 1981 and was considered the most modern and advanced system in the world with functionality unique for its time. It performs advanced tracking of radar data from 15 radar stations and has a complete automatic flight plan data processing function based upon full scale trajectory prediction.

ATC Global offers opportunities to monitor industry trends and to network with industry colleagues. In order to facilitate this, Si ATM’s stand hosted many old friends, allowing for discussions covering previous and current engagements. Given the importance these guests have for Si ATM, we truly hope they felt welcome during their visits. ATC Global provides possibilities to create new bonds and Si ATM representatives had the pleasure of acquainting new industry colleagues. We are looking forward to remain in contact and to progress with our plans for joint ventures in the future.

Si ATM has already started planning for next year’s exhibition and is looking forward to welcome all their guests once again.

Press release

The system helps SMATSA in the transition from an old air traffic management system to a new one and will be a part of the future testing environment.

Press Release

The main components in the two years project are:

• Replacement of all hardware and stepwise migration from IBM’s operating system AIX to Linux.
• Development of an advanced arrival manager function including automatic advisories for speed control, vectoring, holdings and orbits.
• Implement changes according to amendment 1 to Procedures for Air Navigation Services, Air Traffic Management, ICAO Document 4444, i.e. the new flight plan format.
• Gradually migrate Eurocontrol OLDI from X.25 to the new Eurocontrol Flight Message Transfer Protocol (TCP/IP) procedures.
• Expand to full OLDI according to version 4.1 of the Eurocontrol specification and connect to all neighbors.
• Implement full support of Eurocontrol’s ATS Data Exchange Presentation format for flight data.
• Utilization of Mode-S, both elementary and enhanced data.
• Integration of wide area multilateration information in the Multi Sensor Tracker (MST).
• Support for Eurocontrol’s Aeronautical Information Exchange Model format in handling of adaptation data and maps.
• Additional workstations, and
• about 25 other minor functionality changes.

The project also includes prototyping of new working procedures and human-machine-interface for the tower and ground controllers to be implemented in the previously delivered tower simulator.
