CNS/ATM

IBG offers turnkey and PMC solutions to upgrade, procure and deploy CNS/ATM equipment to enable and support ANSPs to safely achieve their objectives.

This solution may include the following: 

Communication Systems

  • Communication Infrastructure Design: Design and optimization of ground-based and satellite-based communication systems to ensure seamless and reliable communication between air traffic control, aircraft, and ground personnel. 
  • Voice and Data Communication Solutions: Implementation of advanced voice and data communication technologies, including digital radio systems, datalink communication, and the integration of data exchange protocols like CPDLC (Controller-Pilot Data Link Communications). 

Navigation Systems

  • Navigation Infrastructure Enhancement: Assessment and improvement of navigation aids and systems, such as VOR (VHF Omni-Directional Range), NDB (Non-Directional Beacon), and the deployment of more advanced technologies like GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System).
  • RNAV/RNP Procedures: Development of Required Navigation Performance (RNP) and Area Navigation (RNAV) procedures to enhance aircraft navigation accuracy and efficiency. 

Surveillance Systems

  • Surveillance Infrastructure Optimization: Evaluation and upgrading of surveillance systems, including radar and ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast), to enhance aircraft tracking accuracy and coverage.
  • Conflict Detection and Resolution: Implementation of systems for detecting and mitigating potential conflicts between aircraft, including the use of advanced conflict detection algorithms. 

Air Traffic Management (ATM)

  • ATM System Integration: Integration of various ATM systems and technologies to improve the management of air traffic flow, including the integration of air traffic control systems with surveillance and navigation systems. 
  • ATM Efficiency Enhancement: Consulting on strategies and technologies to optimize air traffic management, reduce congestion, and minimize delays. 
  • ATM Modernization: Guidance on the adoption of modern ATM concepts such as SESAR (Single European Sky ATM Research) in Europe or NextGen in the United States. 

Regulatory Compliance and Safety Assurance

  • Compliance Audits: Conduct audits to ensure that your clients’ CNS and ATM systems meet the regulatory requirements set forth by aviation authorities like the FAA, EASA, and ICAO. 
  • Safety Assessment: Perform safety assessments to identify potential risks in communication, navigation, surveillance, and air traffic management systems and provide recommendations for mitigation. 

Training and Capacity Building

  • Training Programs: Develop training programs for air traffic controllers, technicians, and other personnel involved in CNS and ATM operations. 
  • Capacity Building: Assist aviation organizations in building capacity to manage and maintain their CNS and ATM infrastructure effectively.
