The new ATC systems include a multi-sensor tracking system that will integrate all surveillance means – radars, ADS-B, ADS-C, multilateration and wide area multilateration – and will harmonise the ATC centres to reduce operation and maintenance costs.
In addition, Thales will also deliver a training and test platform for air traffic controllers, which will allow ASECNA to optimise airspace monitoring and provide smoother ATC services to airlines in the region.
ASECNA handles five flight information regions, covering 16 million square kilometres across Africa.
