UK air navigation service provider NATS (National Air Traffic Services) Holdings has awarded Indra the contract to deliver the next generation of iTEC (interoperability Through European Collaboration), the technology necessary for modernising air traffic management systems. The contract will enable the transformation of the company’s air traffic control operations in support of a Single European Sky.

The contract will require working collaboratively with other key NATS suppliers for the development and integration of the next version of the Flight Data Processor (FDP) and Controller Working Position (CWP) systems, established within the iTEC Collaboration. It also specifies Indra’s support for getting iTEC into full operational service at Prestwick and Swanwick control centres, building on the previous delivery and transition of the iTEC system into NATS’ Prestwick Centre Upper Airspace last year.
