Operational Air Traffic Management Systems (ATM) Advanced Simulation & Training Solutions

Adacel announced today that it has been awarded a contract by Avinor, the Norwegian Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP), to provide a new ATM system for managing air traffic in the Bodø Oceanic Flight Information Region (OFIR).

The new Bodø Oceanic ATM System (BOAS) will address the growth in traffic in the Bodø OFIR, which has nearly doubled over the past 5 years, and will improve the level of service to airspace users and the interaction with adjacent ANSP’s. Implementation of data link and other capabilities to address new North Atlantic (NAT) Region requirements are also part of this project.

The BOAS requirements will be fully met by Adacel’s proven Aurora ATM system, which is already used to control traffic throughout the oceanic airspaces controlled by Fiji, Iceland, New Zealand, Portugal and the United States.

This Linux based system is scalable to meet all operational requirements and features functionality to support NextGen and SESAR initiatives including 4D profile protection, automated conflict detection, monitoring & control by exception, separation based on individual aircraft performance and equipage, dynamic airspace allocation, controller pilot data link communications (CPDLC) and automatic dependent surveillance contract and broadcast (ADS-C and ADS-B).

Controller training for Avinor will be provided by NAV Portugal who has used the Aurora system since 2001.
