Created on 05.07.2022 15:20

NAV CANADA today announced it is commencing a 12-month evaluation of iTEC in collaboration with NATS, Avinor and Indra.   

This initial agreement will provide NAV CANADA the opportunity to evaluate the benefits and innovations inherent in a collaboratively developed platform. The evaluation will include:

• The deployment of an evaluation version of the iTEC FDP into the NAV CANADA Trajectory Based Operations test facility in Ottawa
• The evaluation of the Indra iACM air traffic flow management product as part of an enhanced focus on network management capabilities in Canada
• The long-term potential for the iTEC FDP and iTEC controller working position to replace the current NAV CANADA developed ATM system called CAATS.

The iTEC consortium comprises seven of the most important European ANSPs, which collaboratively develop a common system together with the Technology Partner Indra, sharing investments and R&D efforts. In the coming years, iTEC will support the largest network of Air Traffic Control Centers in Europe, managing two thirds of Europe’s air traffic and providing the technology to materialize significant savings in flight time, fuel and running costs. NATS is a founding member of iTEC, and is closely cooperating with Avinor in the NATS iTEC System Group.
