GAELICAM Team has a very large experience developing and delivering CNS/ATM courses with a very clear ANSP orientation. This experience has been obtained during over 30 years working in multiple national and international projects regarding to Air Navigation systems in the following areas:

• • ATM data communications: surveillance (radar, multilateration LAM/WAM, ADS-C, ADS-B), OLDI, EGNOS, Galileo, CFMU, EAD, PENS, Voice over IP (VoIP), Voice Communications Systems (VCSs), Flight Plan Data Processors (FPDPs), ATIS, VOLMET, communications protocols (IPv4, IPv6, X.25, FR, ATM), ...
  • Datalink systems: ATN concept, Air/Ground sub-networks based on VDL2, FANS Accommodation (Front-End Processors), CPDLC, ADS-C, ADS-B, D-ATIS, D-VOLMET, …
  • Aeronautical Messaging Networks (AFTN/AMHS).
  • ATM satellite communications projects: European Space Agency program ARTES 10 called Iris program (HERMES consortium), …
  • Communications Transmission means: microwaves and optical fiber rings.
  • Navigations systems: Performance-based Navigation (PBN) clarifying differences between RNAV and RNP, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS), traditional navigations systems (VOR, DME, ILS,...).
  • Surveillance systems: ADS-B, ADS-C, Mode-S radar, Multilateration (LAM, WAM), A-SMGCS (Advanced-Surface Movement Guidance and Control System), TIS-B, …
  • ATM Data Processing domain addresses all systems which process flight data and environment data in support of integrated ATM operations.
  •  System Monitoring and Control domain assessing technologies (SNMP, others…) in order to identify pros and cons of each one.
  • Verification and Validation activities: Interoperability Regulation and Certification activities, European Operational Concept Validation Methodology (E-OCVM), …
  • Safety activities: ESSAR (Eurocontrol Safety Regulatory Requirement), SAM (Safety Assessment Methodology), ICAO’s Annex 19 and the Global Aviation Safety Plan, Safety Management System (SMS), …
  • Security activities learning how to perform a security risk assessment and identifying best practices from ISO/IEC 27001 and NIST standards.

    Our team comprises a group of CNS/ATM technology experts able to link the analysis of technology and the management of strategic issues with the management of ANSPs CNS/ATM programs.

    We have identified as follows a series of critical competencies to be staffed for your CNS/ATM Training project:

    • Understanding of the ANSP business.
    • Understanding of ATM / CNS.
    • Understanding of the ATM communications business (legacy and VoIP).
    • Large experience delivering CNS/ATM courses to ANSPs.
    • Understanding of SESAR-related regulations, plans and objectives.
    • Understanding of Safety and Certification issues.
