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.

Such solutions may include the following:

Communication Systems

Communication Infrastructure Design: Design, optimization, and integration of ground-based and satellite-based communication networks, ensuring seamless, resilient, and high-performance connectivity between air traffic control, aircraft, and ground personnel, while aligning with ICAO, EUROCAE, and industry best practices for operational efficiency and reliability.
Voice and Data Communication Solutions: Consultancy for all project aspects of advanced voice and data communication systems, including end-to-end VoIP-enabled digital radio solutions. Our expertise ensures seamless integration with IP-based voice switching, redundancy, and interoperability with existing analogue and hybrid infrastructures, facilitating smooth transitions for ANSPs. We support the implementation of datalink communications such as CPDLC (Controller-Pilot Data Link Communications) and VoIP-based ATM networks, ensuring compliance with ICAO, EUROCAE and national standards while enhancing resilience, efficiency, and scalability.

Navigation Infrastructure Enhancement: Assessment, modernization, and optimization of navigation systems, including VOR and DME, while advancing the deployment of Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) technologies such as GNSS, SBAS, and GBAS to enhance accuracy, reliability, and operational efficiency.
PBN and RNP Procedures: Development and optimization of Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) procedures, including Required Navigation Performance (RNP) and Area Navigation (RNAV), enabling precise, fuel-efficient, and high-capacity airspace operations while supporting seamless integration with GNSS-based navigation solutions.

Surveillance Infrastructure Optimisation: Evaluation and upgrading of surveillance solutions, including PSR (Primary Surveillance Radar), SSR (Secondary Surveillance Radar), ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast), and MLAT (Multilateration), ensuring enhanced aircraft tracking accuracy, situational awareness, and seamless interoperability within evolving ATM environments.
Conflict Detection and Resolution: Implementation of systems for detecting and mitigating potential conflicts between aircraft, including the use of advanced conflict detection algorithms and by leveraging real-time surveillance data, predictive analytics, and trajectory-based operations (TBO) to proactively identify and mitigate potential airspace conflicts, enhancing safety and operational efficiency in high-density airspace.

ATM System Integration: Comprehensive consultancy on the integration and interoperability of advanced ATM systems, ensuring seamless synchronisation between air traffic control, surveillance, and navigation systems. This includes supporting the deployment of system-wide information management (SWIM), trajectory-based operations (TBO) and other advanced tools to enhance efficiency and predictability.
ATM Efficiency Optimisation: Strategic advice on airspace and flow management solutions, leveraging automation, digital tower technologies, and air traffic optimisation tools to minimize congestion, reduce delays, and enhance capacity in high-density and complex airspace environments.
ATM Modernization and Transformation: Expert guidance on adopting cutting-edge ATM frameworks such as SESAR in Europe and NextGen in the U.S., including Performance-Based Navigation (PBN), 4D trajectory management, and digitalization strategies. IBG provides tailored roadmaps for ANSPs to transition towards fully automated and data-driven ATM ecosystems.

Regulatory Compliance Audits: Comprehensive audits and compliance evaluations of CNS and ATM systems to ensure alignment with ICAO, FAA, EASA, and regional aviation authority regulations. IBG provides expert oversight, gap analysis, and strategic guidance to help ANSPs achieve and maintain full regulatory compliance while preparing for certification and oversight inspections.
Safety Assessment & Risk Mitigation: In-depth safety assessments through industry best practices and proven methodologies, such as Safety Management Systems (SMS) and ICAO’s Safety Oversight framework. IBG identifies risks across communication, navigation, surveillance, and ATM infrastructures, delivering actionable mitigation strategies to enhance operational resilience, safety performance, and regulatory conformance.

Specialized Training Programs: Development and delivery of customised training programs for air traffic controllers, engineers, and technical personnel, covering CNS/ATM operations, system maintenance, regulatory compliance, and emerging technologies. IBG ensures training aligns with ICAO, EUROCONTROL, and industry standards, integrating simulation-based learning and competency-based training methodologies.
Capacity Building & Knowledge Transfer: Strategic consultancy to enhance ANSPs’ operational and technical capacity in managing and maintaining CNS/ATM infrastructure. IBG supports workforce development through structured training roadmaps, skills transfer programs, and on-the-job mentorship, ensuring sustainable expertise and long-term resilience in air navigation services.
