DSNA France Selects Adacel For Integrated Oceanic, En Route, Approach And Tower Air Traffic Management System
Air traffic automation company Adacel has been awarded a contract by the Directorate of Air Navigation Services of France (DSNA) for the deployment of a new ATM system for Cayenne, French Guiana.
The system will be installed in the Cayenne-Félix Eboué Center which controls an area of 1.5 million square kilometers (approx 580,000 square miles) in the South Atlantic and is adjacent to the oceanic airspaces controlled by Brazil, Senegal, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago. The system will be used to control traffic in all phases of flight within the Flight Information Region (FIR).
The contract is the first in a series planned by the DSNA to modernize air traffic management systems in the overseas territories of France. Adacel is one of three companies prequalified to bid on the follow-on projects, which, like the contract for Cayenne, will provide modern ATM systems for approach and tower control.
Speaking of the award, Seth Brown, Adacel’s Chief Executive Officer said “We are very pleased to receive this contract from the DSNA. We have worked closely with the DSNA since 2010 when we began implementation of a Data Link system for Cayenne. This new award validates the success of that experience and recognizes our ability to address the DSNA’s requirements in a cost effective fashion.”
Aurora automation technology is currently in operational use in airspaces controlled by Fiji, France, Iceland, New Zealand, Portugal and the United States.
