The Action is part of a Global Project, which aims at achieving higher levels of harmonisation and standardisation between the COOPANS (Co-operation of Air Service Providers) alliance through further development of the COOPANS Air Traffic Management (ATM) System platform in line with the TopSky roadmap. Furthermore it ensures a common baseline onto which SESAR solutions can be deployed more efficiently.
The scope of this Action was to implement four software upgrades (builds):
• Build 2.6.1 concerns Controller Pilot Datalink Communication (CPDLC) operation, training improvement and system capacity increase
• Build 2.6.2 for training improvement, Online data interchange interoperability (OLDI IOP) & co-ordination
• Build 3.1 enables Safety Nets convergence to the TopSky standard product
• Build B3.2 provides CPDLC improvement, system capacity increase and operational improvements
In addition to the four main builds the Action included a study to assess the possibility for harmonising all COOPANS partners towards a common Java Human Machine Interface (JHMI) and to potentially align with other TopSky users.
