Serbia and Montenegro Air Traffic Services (SMATSA) has selected Comsoft Solutions to upgrade its existing air traffic services message handling system (AMHS) and air traffic management surveillance tracker and server (ARTAS) solution.
Designed by the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation (Eurocontrol), the ARTAS provides reliable and accurate surveillance data for air traffic operations.

As part of the upgrade, SMATSA will enhance its European Directory Service (EDS) functionality, as well as its ability to import AMHS address tables and export statistical information.
Additional CADAS-ATS flight planning servers will also be installed by Comsoft Solutions.
The latest version of ARTAS, V8B, will be installed on a new hardware platform defined by Eurocontrol’s centralised ARTAS maintenance and operational support (CAMOS) service.
The hardware has been customised on the basis of Eurocontrol’s specification for ATM surveillance system performance (ESASSP), which uses Comsoft Solution’s RAPS-3 product and the Eurocontrol surveillance analysis support system for air traffic control centres (SASS-C).
In 2011, SMATSA took delivery of Comsoft Solutions’ AMHS solution, AIDA-NG, and Eurocontrol’s ARTAS surveillance tracker for the first time.
The following year, the company selected Comsoft's AIDA-FPL flight planning tool in order to facilitate its transition to the new flight plan format.
SMATSA currently oversees air traffic control services in 145,566km² of airspace over Serbia, Montenegro and part of the Adriatic Sea.
It also manages 55% of the airspace over Bosnia and Herzegovina.
