At ATC Global, stand H 208, the German air navigation service provider DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH will be showing several of its new developments and solutions for the air traffic services community. A newly built tower console will be at the stand plus the further enhanced radar data processing system Phoenix and its new flight data processing component, as well as a new position logging system for the electronic recording of working times and responsibilities of controllers. The arrival manager 4D Planner and other in-house developments will be presented at ATC Global

DFS is one of the largest air navigation service providers in Europe and develops several systems and solutions in-house using its long-standing expertise in air traffic management matters. With around three million movements every year, Germany manages one of the busiest and most complex airspaces in the world.

“The future of air navigation services will depend on organisations looking closely at efficiency and cost-effectiveness and taking a holistic approach to solving these challenges. Using appropriate concepts, solutions and new developments is decisive in this process”, says Stefan Lentz, Director of the business unit Aeronautical Solutions, which supports other organisations in air traffic management matters. For more than 17 years, DFS has been providing consultancy services, training and solutions around the world.

DFS presents the newly built tower console equipped with the latest automation systems. DFS designed the console for its new tower in Frankfurt, which will be in operation by 2011 together with the fourth runway. DFS has integrated the radar data processing system Phoenix into the console.

Among other developments, DFS presents a flight data processing system that enables controllers edit flight plan data of arrivals and departures, process and correlate it to tracks, and write with a pen directly on the screen on the electronic flight progress strips.

For the first time, DFS presents its new Position Logging System (PoLo) used to electronically record working times and responsibilities of air traffic controllers. It also gives supervisors a complete overview of all activities.

Finally, flight controllers can also manage arrivals and departures using the 4D Planner together with departure managers. Apart from Frankfurt and Munich, the two largest international hubs in Germany, the 4D Planner will be implemented at Berlin Brandenburg International Airport, and from 2011, the Brazilian air navigation services organisation will also use the German-made arrival manager at various locations.
