In addition, an identical test / training and development node will allow ANWS to establish and simulate different operational scenarios in order to enhance the quality of its messaging services.
Comsoft Solutions Message Handling System business unit manager Uwe Kurpat said: “ The new AFTN / AMHS will be the backbone for ANWS’ aeronautical communication.
“The web-service-based AFTN / AMHS messaging client interface (SOAP, originally Simple Object Access Protocol) will give ANWS new possibilities to efficiently integrate air traffic management systems and provides an excellent basis for the future CRV and SWIM-based environments.”
