The IATAS Vision
International Air Traffic Automation Systems (IATAS) vision is to become a key performance leader in the unfolding new era of Air Traffic management for World Airports, Airlines, Air Navigation Service Providers, and General Aviation Authorities.
Proof of adherence to the vision can be seen within our market visibility, where the company has managed to keep itself invisible and large amounts of resources have been invested since the initial concept in 1996. Visibility to the ATM community has only begun in late 2012 and is already actively involved in the next-generation ATM undertakings on a global-scale since 2013.
IATAS vision is founded on three core principles:
• Plug-and-play solution for all community stakeholders for immediate ROI and high-availability
• Sustainable and maximised safety, capacity, interoperability, collaboration and
• Drastically lower environmental impact, human workload and direct ATM operating costs
Mission Statement
International Air Traffic Automation Systems (IATAS) mission is to provide fully-automated Air Traffic Control and Management solutions for the World's air-traffic community. We will achieve superior technological performance, industry-leading customer satisfaction and operational excellence.
The need for full Airport automation, the rules have changed
IATAS has effective systems and solutions for airport ATM/ATS operations. By using advanced patented technologies,
we offer ATM/ATS solutions for airports to:
- Significantly increase overall airport safety
- Eliminate controller-induced Runway incursions and excursions
- Substantially lower taxiway congestions and maximize taxiway routing management
- Time all Runway operations with accuracy
- Eliminate controller-Pilot misunderstanding, language barriers, and call-sign confusion
- Eliminate ATC frequency congestion, and possibly the need for voice ATC infrastructure altogether
- Effectively reduce pre-takeoff lineups
- Efficient use of all taxiways and taxiway/Runway crossings
- Provide effective and efficient gate-to-runway and runway-to-gate taxiway routing
- Provide user based taxiway routing preference for pilots to save fuel and taxiing time
- Reduced Controller workforce in Towers, associates systems and support infrastructures
- Common Controller workload for runway and taxiway management is drastically reduced
- Eliminate the need for coordinating response units to any runway-related emergency
- Drastically reduce ATC equipment, related operating and maintenance expenses
- Automatically Provide real-time operational data for all stakeholders including Pilots, Airport operations Center
- Greatly reduce overall overhead and operating costs
- Effectively manage airport operations in all weather conditions and in zero-visibility.
For any airport, IATAS systems can be integrated as tools, semi-automated solution, or, fully automated solutions. A gradual process can be taken based on your requirements from tool, through semi-automated to fully automated.
Areas of Focus
Internal Focus Areas:
Since IATAS has enabled the Shadow-Mode Beta Program in June/2013 for Airports, ANSP's, CAA's and Airlines, our focus is on completion of implementing the tools and solutions for the ATM community, all based on our unique technologies. Some of our key projects include:
• Final internal testing and certification in real Airport conditions prior to operational certification.
• Runway management
• Tower operations
• Pilot situational awareness
• Airport efficiency solutions for Airlines and Pilots
• Stakeholder interoperability infrastructure
Global-Scale Focus Areas:
Since our mission and vision are based on the future of ATM, IATAS is involved in global-scale modernization undertakings. Since our technologies are unique in a competitive and small industry, timing market visibility is crucial to our success. We closely work with our Industry partners on cutting-edge solutions, mostly under NDA conditions.
• EROCONTROL
SESAR JU undertaking - SWIM Master Class Participant (Visible to SWIM participants)
Our focus area is to demonstrate how a section within our Airport solution works
• FAA
Tower- Closure solutions
Enabling the Beta programme for Airports impacted by FAA's Closed-Tower mandate.
Enable all non-tower Airports to participate in the No-Tower Beta Programme
NextGen
We have only been invisible within the FAA domain since Q2/2013 as we near our readiness.
Our aim is to enable the immediately Beta testing a section of our Airport solutions.
• Research Partners
