Atech, part of the Embraer Group, has presented its SingleATM Platform at Airspace World 2024 in Geneva, Switzerland.
At its stand in the F22 area of Airspace World 2024, Atech is highlighting its air traffic management (ATM) products, a set of solutions for airspace management and control.
In particular, Atech’s Single Air Traffic Management Platform (SingleATM Platform), is a hardware and software structure to host ATM systems based on service-oriented architecture (SOA), sustained by five pillars: capacity, efficiency, operational environment, operational security, and software security. This platform aims to reduce expansion, integration, and maintenance costs and increase interoperability among ATM systems.
It also aims to reduce development/testing costs, provide the same visual identity for the hosted systems, and provide greater availability/resilience. Finally, the SingleATM Platform will be responsible for increasing the level of ATM systems cybersecurity, adhering to international standards.
The SingleATM Platform was developed in partnership with CISCEA (Commission for Implementation of the Brazilian Air Space Control System) and can be hosted using on-premises hardware or a private or public cloud.
Marcos Resende, ATM Business Director at Atech said, "The SingleATM Platform enables the reduction of costs related to expansion, integration, acquisition, and maintenance, also increasing interoperability among systems and enhancing the cybersecurity level of hosted systems, according to international security practices required for critical systems.”
He emphasizes that this platform is being developed innovatively and customized to meet the demand of DECEA (Department of Airspace Control), the Brazilian ANSP. for integration and modernization of the Brazilian Airspace Control System (SISCEAB) programs. In addition, the SingleATM Platform will also be suitable for any ANSP in the world.
In Brazil, Atech maintains a long-standing strategic partnership with the DECEA. The company is responsible for the development and updates of the main Brazilian air traffic management systems, such as ATC system SAGITARIO, ATFM system SIGMA, ATC Simulator PLATAO, SWIM Platform AQUILA, AMHS, among others.
The Airspace World 2024 event is taking place between March 19 and 21 in Geneva, Switzerland. Other products and services highlighted by Atech during the event include ATMAS (ATM Automation System), the "ATC as a service" model, where the air traffic management system is made available to the ANSP (Air Navigation System Provider) without the need of the ANSP to acquire hardware or support infrastructure. In this model, in addition to deployment, Atech is also responsible for support, technical assistance, and all necessary hardware and system repairs at no additional cost to the customer, who pays for a subscription during the contractual period.
"The implementation of ATMAS can be a good strategy for ANSPs, and the SaaS approach can generate significant gains not only financially but also in the customization of the solution. With consolidated experience in ATM projects, Atech has also been leading these new approaches, contributing to the modernization, security, and efficiency of Air Traffic Services (ATS)," said Resende.
Atech will also present the cybersecurity concepts that have been integrated into its ATM product portfolio, which follow global cybersecurity standards. The application of these concepts in the ATM ecosystem has become increasingly important due to its growing connection to the worldwide network.
