> Description du projet

 

 

Performance

The operational services already provided in Tahiti are VIVO (for Oceanic flights visualisation) and SIGMA systems (for flight plans management and general information). TIARE project is ordered by DSNA and consists in providing a more comprehensive and modern ATC system to Tahiti Centre to replace both VIVO and SIGMA systems.Several products will intervene in this construction with the target to minimize specific developments. The air space managed by the centre of Tahiti is 12 500 000 km² large.

 

Thales has been awarded the major contract in partnership with Egis Avia which will cover a part of it.On the one side Thales will provide its EUROCAT-X system, in charge with radar processing and flight plans management. And, on the other side, Egis avia will provide ATALIS system, in charge with flights preparation, NOTAM management, and presentation of general information to tower and approach controllers.

 

Both EUROCAT and ATALIS interfaced via the so-called commutator CAGOU (a Message switching concentrator for French overseas territories), connected to external links (AFTN). ATALIS also receives meteorological information from Météo France local observation computer (CAOBS).

 

Description of ATALIS

The system deployed in Tahiti is called ATALIS 2 a modular software product dedicated to the automation of Aeronautical Information from production and maintenance to operation at Aeronautical Information System (AIS) end-users facilities. The modules which are implemented in Tahiti are:

  • Notam Management Module: using automated processing and implementing an international Notam database, ATALIS 2 Notam Management is the solution to provide increased reliability and quality of aeronautical information in the form of Notam lists or Pre-flight Information Bulletins. Notam messages repetition, assembly of multipart messages and proper message syntax are managed by the system.
  • Flight Preparation Module: Flight preparation management system (flight plan deposit and process, pre-flight information bulletin production and provision). The system implements a flight folder concept where all data and messages related to a flight are stored.
  • General Information Module: presentation and processing of general information to controllers, ATIS, weather, QFU, QNH, NAvaids, frequence…

Egis avia will supply, deploy, instal, train the main users and provide a serious maintenance to ATALIS.

The different users of this new and complete system are:

  • En Route controllers in charge with en Route control.
  • Approach controllers and Tower managers, in charge with approach and ground control.
  • Brieffing office operators are in charge of flight plan deposit and management, PIB and meteorological information delivery for pilots, as well as departure and arrival management.
  • NOTAM office operators are in charge of international and domestic NOTAM managemement for french polynesia area.

 

 

For this project, Egis avia has adapted the product with the requirements of technical and operational background of the project. Security studies were also carried out to measure the impact of the use on the operations and take steps to ensure a level of acceptable risk.
