CSG group companies to exhibit at Airspace World 2026 in Lisbon

The next edition of Airspace World will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, from May 26 to 28. Building on the legacy of the World ATM Congress, Airspace World is currently the largest and most prestigious global event in the field of air traffic management. At the exhibition, CSG group companies united within its Aerospace & Defence Electronics subdivision will present their products and services, including software companies CS Soft, Atrak and Upvision, as well as the radar technology manufacturer Eldis.

The Pardubice-based company Eldis will present its entire range of next-generation active radars using a model of a complete airport. These radars are included in the RPL-2000 system, which is designed to provide a comprehensive solution for air traffic management. The RPL-2000 radar suite consists of next-generation software-defined radars – a primary surveillance radar, a monopulse secondary surveillance radar, and a precision approach radar. This radar family has been designed and developed to enhance capabilities while simplifying operation. Eldis has achieved this by reducing the number of unique hardware modules and shifting functionalities to the system’s computing components. As a result, energy consumption has been reduced, along with the requirements for backup power capacity. The system can be complemented by the ERDIS air traffic management software. At the exhibition, the company will also present its primary 3D radar, designated RL-3000 – a fully software-defined long-range radar providing three-dimensional data for tracking non-cooperative airborne targets.

CS Soft has long focused on advanced solutions for air navigation service providers and will present its technological vision for the future of ATM in Lisbon. The centerpiece of the exhibition will be the brand-new unified flagship platform SkyOptima, which integrates the strengths of the legacy ALS system and the new ESUP-NG flight data processing system. SkyOptima introduces an innovative cloud-native architecture built on microservices. This technological concept enables independent service deployment, cloud implementation, and ensures seamless scalability – a single system core can efficiently support operations ranging from local airport towers (TWR) to the largest area control centers (ACC). In addition to this platform, CS Soft will also present its ATC simulator, the Pagoda solution for datalink traffic monitoring, the Traffic Complexity Manager, and the multifunctional RadarView tool for situational awareness and air incident investigation.

Atrak will introduce a next-generation air traffic control system – MAESTRO Digital Remote Tower, which brings a new level of digitalization and flexibility to the provision of air navigation services. This modern system enables their delivery from a centralized location, away from the physical airport site. Using advanced camera systems, sensors, and digital visualization technology, controllers achieve the same – or enhanced – situational awareness as traditional tower operations. The solution combines high efficiency, scalability, and cost savings with a strong emphasis on maximum safety through advanced digital tools, including AI-assisted tracking, and enhanced vision. The presentation will also feature our unique Aeronautical Billing system for managing invoices and revenues from air navigation charges, which simplifies complex workflows through an intuitive web-based interface and automatically calculates and applies charges based on real-time data, ensuring high accuracy and efficiency.

Upvision will present its digital solution MAIA, which provides an effective tool for supporting the management of unmanned traffic (UTM). The result is coordinated and safe operations in low-altitude airspace, as well as the integration of all stakeholders, systems, and data into a securely regulated environment, ensuring comprehensive operational awareness. Upvision’s solution designs and creates an intelligent ecosystem in which drones become a reliable part of everyday operations. Thanks to the company’s innovative approach, air navigation service providers (ANSPs) and UTM service providers can now effectively manage the transition to a new operational model.
