The iTEC systems incorporate the most advanced technologies based on 4D trajectory (3 Dimensions + time), that permit the introduction of the latest advances in safety for very advanced Air Conflict Management– said Mr. Gallego.

It will also allow to manage airspace in a very flexible and dynamic way, being able to respond to changes in traffic demand, weather conditions or adapting to reserved military airspace – said Mr. Raščius.

The contracts are the result of a common procurement procedure, and are key for the deployment of a common system across the Baltic FAB.

With the modernization of this Air Traffic Automation infrastructure, Oro Navigacija and PANSA will be prepared to meet future European standards and regulations relating to air traffic systems and fulfilling the Single European Sky requirements -  added Ms. Jaworska.

According to the SES goals, the iTEC systems allow to define more efficient routes (performance-driven), with the corresponding fuel economy and environmental efficiency.

In the next five years, some of the most important Air Traffic Control Centres of Europe will deploy iTEC systems.
