Eve Air Mobility Presents Vector and Provides  Updates on the Urban ATM Software Development  

The company has been developing next-generation Urban Air Traffic Management solutions to enable integrated Advanced Air Mobility operations. 

GENEVA, Switzerland — Mar. 19, 2024 — Eve Air Mobility (“Eve”) (NYSE: EVEX; EVEXW) has released today at the Airspace World in Geneva the name of its Urban Air Traffic Management (Urban ATM) software and provided updates on the solution’s development. Vector will be an agnostic software solution designed to safely address the unique air traffic and network management challenges of current and future Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) operations, focusing on fleet and vertiport operators, and future service providers for AAM, including Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs). The company is advancing towards an operational version of the software which customers can test and trial to help progress the market.

“Electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft flights will become an established transportation mode for communities worldwide. Eve expects first deliveries and entry into service as soon as 2026 and has been addressing the airspace and Air Traffic Management (ATM) challenges to support the introduction and growth of the market in a harmonized and safe way. Vector will streamline AAM operations from day 1, coordinating all stakeholders involved to enhance safety, optimize performance, and maximize resource usage,” said Johann Bordais, Eve’s CEO.        

Vector will allow eVTOLs to be integrated with other aircraft flying in low-level urban airspace from day 1 of operations and provide the automation needed to enable Urban Air Mobility (UAM) market scalability. To date, Eve has 14 (fourteen) customers for the solution, including fleet operators, vertiports and airspace and flow management providers. With Vector, eVTOL operators will make their operations more efficient; vertiports will manage resource availability with all operation stakeholders involved; and ANSPs and Providers of Services (PSU) for UAM will optimize the airspace and air traffic network for all users.

In November 2023, Eve partnered with Flexjet to conduct a simulation to validate and refine Vector’s capabilities under real-scenario conditions and better understand the software’s commercial viability and applications. The simulation took place in the UK and involved 18 flights across eight aerodromes, exercising 26 different routes with alternative landing locations to test the standby flight plan functionality. The team also tested delays at departure and destination with impacts on incoming flights, flight cancellations due to airspace and weather constraints, and in-flight emergencies, including alternative landing location requests.

The Eve-Flexjet simulation has found gaps between current ATM systems and those required to support UAM operations from Day 1, such as the lack of integration between fleet and vertiport operator systems to coordinate eVTOL flights safely and efficiently. Therefore, Eve is prioritizing the development of services that address these gaps, including integrated flight planning with airspace and vertiport resource availability; management of alternate landing locations built into the flight planning to support the endurance limitations of electric aircraft; and conformance management to inform stakeholders when flights deviate from their plan and may affect other flights.

“Flight dispatchers are responsible for nearly all aspects of an operation, which requires extensive decision-making and tracking abilities. Urban ATM services can support these activities in preparation for AAM operations through increased levels of automation and an integrated view of the relevant information tied to a specific flight. Eve has been actively incorporating features, including feedback received through user testing, into Vector to ensure the value of its services translates directly to the end users”, added Brenden Hedblom, Eve’s head of traffic management solutions.

As Vector matures, Eve continues to pursue additional opportunities to trial the solution with its customers and partners. Testing it in real-world scenarios is the best way to ensure the services provide optimal value. The company expects this year to advance towards an operational version of the software which customers can test and trial to help advance the market and prepare the UAM ecosystem for initial operations.

Atech highlights ATM innovations at Airspace World 2024

Atech, an Embraer Group company, will present its latest airspace management and control innovations at Airspace World 2024, which takes place between March 19 and 21 in Geneva, Switzerland. Organized by CANSO (Civil Air Navigation Services Organization), the event is one of the most important in the world for air navigation.


Atech, part of the Embraer Group, will present the latest innovations from its portfolio of solutions for airspace management and control at the event held by CANSO in Geneva

At its stand in the F22 area of Airspace World 2024, Atech will highlight the ATM products (Makron family), a set of solutions for airspace management and control. Among the novelties, the company will present its latest success case: the Single Air Traffic Management Platform (SingleATM Platform), which is in development in partnership with CISCEA (Commission for Implementation of the Brazilian Air Space Control System).

The SingleATM Platform is an HW and SW structure to host ATM systems based on service-oriented architecture (SOA), sustained by five pillars: capacity, efficiency, operational environment, operational security, and software security. This platform aims to reduce expansion, integration, and maintenance costs and increase interoperability among ATM systems. Furthermore, it aims to reduce development/testing costs, provide the same visual identity for the hosted systems, and provide greater availability/resilience. Finally, the SingleATM Platform will be responsible for increasing the level of ATM systems cybersecurity, adhering to international standards. This SingleATM Platform can be hosted on on-premises hardware or a private or public cloud.

“The  SingleATM Platform enables the reduction of costs related to expansion, integration, acquisition, and maintenance, also increasing interoperability among systems and enhancing the cybersecurity level of hosted systems, according to international security practices required for critical systems,” said Marcos Resende, ATM Business Director at Atech.

He emphasizes that this platform is being developed innovatively and customized to meet the demand of DECEA (Department of Airspace Control), the Brazilian ANSP. for integration and modernization of the Brazilian Airspace Control System (SISCEAB) programs. In addition, the SingleATM Platform will also be suitable for any ANSP in the world.

In Brazil, Atech maintains a long-standing strategic partnership with the DECEA. The company is responsible for the development and updates of the main Brazilian air traffic management systems, such as ATC system SAGITARIO, ATFM system SIGMA, ATC Simulator PLATAO, SWIM Platform AQUILA, AMHS, among others.

ATC System as a service

Another case that will be highlighted by Atech during Airspace World 2024 will be ATMAS (ATM Automation System), is the “ATC as a service” model, where the air traffic management system is made available to the ANSP (Air Navigation System Provider) without the need of the ANSP to acquire hardware or support infrastructure. In this model, in addition to deployment, Atech is also responsible for support, technical assistance, and all necessary hardware and system repairs at no additional cost to the customer, who pays for a subscription during the contractual period.

“The implementation of ATMAS can be a good strategy for ANSPs, and the SaaS approach can generate significant gains not only financially but also in the customization of the solution. With consolidated experience in ATM projects, Atech has also been leading these new approaches, contributing to the modernization, security, and efficiency of Air Traffic Services (ATS),” explains Marcos Resende.

Atech will also take advantage of the event to present the cybersecurity concepts that have been integrated into its ATM product portfolio, which follows global cybersecurity standards. The application of these concepts in the ATM ecosystem has become increasingly important due to its growing connection to the worldwide network.

In the field of research and development, Atech will present the results of its latest research in the field of Artificial Intelligence applied to ATM, such as “Analysis of Air Traffic Operational Performance through Flight Trajectory Data” and “Complexity Classification of Airspace Sector,” among others.

Press Release: CERTIUM locate from Rohde & Schwarz enhances air traffic control efficiency and safety over Hungary

HungaroControl has successfully implemented nationwide CERTIUM Locate system from Rohde & Schwarz, ensuring comprehensive air traffic coverage above 10,000 feet in Hungarian airspace.

Rohde & Schwarz and HungaroControl, the national air navigation service provider of Hungary, jointly announced during the CANSO Airspace World event, that they successfully implemented CERTIUM Locate nationwide. This cutting-edge technology, developed by Rohde & Schwarz, ensures comprehensive coverage above 10,000 feet in the airspace of Hungary by automatically identifying and pinpointing calling aircraft on the air traffic controller’s radar screen. The benefits are intuitive call sign identification on the screen, avoidance of confusion, increased situational awareness and improved user experience and confidence.

The deployed CERTIUM Locate system comprises ATC direction finders strategically placed across the country for optimal functionality. Central components such as administration consoles and allocation servers calculate the exact position of the calling aircraft in almost real-time and provide it via the Asterix interface seamlessly to the radar screen.

To ensure minimum environmental impact and maximum cost efficiency while achieving seamless coverage, the direction finding (DF) sites were installed on top of existing telecommunication towers. This innovative approach allowed for a simplified roll-out process, as base station towers are readily available across the country and the top part of the masts is typically vacant and ideal for direction finder antennas. To further enhance the system’s effectiveness, eleven ATC VHF radio sites were connected to the location server to suppress ground station radio transmissions on the operators’ radar screens.

László Tóth, CEO of HungaroControl, expressed his satisfaction with the CERTIUM Locate system, stating: “During peak times, this advanced technology significantly improves our controllers’ work efficiency and enhances overall safety.”

Barnabás Kis, CTO of HungaroControl, echoed these sentiments, emphasizing the positive feedback received from users on the intuitive use and the increased situational awareness.

The nationwide implementation of the CERTIUM Locate system marks a significant milestone for HungaroControl and the aviation sector in Hungary. The system’s swift execution, coupled with its numerous benefits, including increased efficiency and enhanced safety, has solidified its role as an innovator in air traffic management. Given the recent surge in air traffic volumes in South-Eastern Europe, other ANSPs in the region or in other parts of Europe with dense airspace can benefit from HungaroControl’s experience.
