 COMSOFT's advanced radar supervision system tailored for the UK has accomplished reliable operations for 10 years. |
| KARLSRUHE/GERMANY, October 2008 Ten years ago British NATS contracted the German surveillance specialist COMSOFT for the design and supply of their En-route Control And Monitoring System (ERCAMS). The core team of the respective experts came together in Karlsruhe last week and celebrated this milestone anniversary. |
| ERCAMS is an advanced supervision system based on COMSOFT's product CMS/XA. Contracted in 1998, it now monitors 22 en-route radar stations throughout the UK. ERCAMS immensely modernized the existing surveillance infrastructure and dependably provides safe, cost efficient and centralized processing and visualization services. |
| Also selecting COMSOFT for the second stage of the project, ERCAMS II, which was tendered in 2006, was a tremendous endorsement for the German ATM supplier. ERCAMS II induced the successive upgrade of all major radar stations and will remain operational until 2015. |
| Today both companies can look back on a long and successful track record of corporate activities which started more than 15 years ago. The initial project was the UK-RADNET, a country-wide radar data network which is one of the most sophisticated surveillance infrastructures in the world. |
