2017. February 07. 16:41
Munich, Germany, 7 February, 2017 (APA/OTS) - NATS has selected the
R&S VCS-4G IP-based voice communications system from Rohde &
Schwarz as its second voice system for its air traffic control
(ATC) communications in UK airspace. Within the framework of the
Single European Sky (SES) initiative, NATS will modernize its
entire air traffic management (ATM) infrastructure over the next
few years. Tim Bullock, Director Supply Chain Management at NATS,
explains: "NATS controls more than 2.4 million flights every year.
Our systems must be both flexible and able to handle heavy
workloads in order to ensure efficient operations for airlines and
passengers alike. We have found in Rohde & Schwarz an innovative
and reliable partner. We welcome them to the collaborative team of
suppliers joining us on our ATM transformation journey towards
SESAR deployment."
Rohde & Schwarz will begin the implementation of the second
voice system in 2017. It will provide enhanced resilience for voice
based radio communications in UK airspace. The air traffic control
centers in Swanwick and Prestwick as well as the NATS corporate and
technical centre in Whiteley will all be equipped in a phased
deployment that will be completed by 2020. The order includes the
delivery, implementation and through-life support of more than 450
R&S VCS-4G controller working positions (CWP). Up to 1700 radios
and various ground-ground lines will be connected to the system.
As airspace becomes more crowded, there is an increased demand
for flexible, load-based reallocation of resources while ensuring
efficient and sustainable air traffic control in line with the
highest safety standards. Rohde & Schwarz meets this challenge with
the fully VoIP-based R&S VCS-4G featuring a distributed, redundant
architecture.
