The efforts to harmonise the technical ATC-systems in Europe reached another important landmark on February 27, 2013 when Austro Control in Austria switched to the COOPANS-system.
The system is the result of the COOPANS-cooperation, launched 2006 by Naviair, IAA, LFV and the French systems developer Thales. Since then Austro Control and Croatia Control have joined the cooperation.
Purpose of the COOPANS-alliance is to cooperate about development of technical ATC-systems and to work for a system harmonisation. Until now the systems have been constructed differently and individually in the respective countries.
Through the cooperation, the partners implement consistent systems in all control centres, securing a better coordination of the air traffic and a more efficient and cost-saving system development as well. Concurrently, the cooperation meets the intentions in EU’s Single European Sky programme, with one of the objectives being an overall harmonisation of all systems in Europe.
The COOPANS-alliance ensures an on-going system update always embracing state-of-the-art and the most future proof solutions.
Through the recent years, Naviair, IAA and LFV have implemented the COOPANS-systems in the control centres in Dublin and Shannon Ireland, in Copenhagen Denmark as well as in Malmø and Stockholm Sweden. On February 27, the implementation of COOPANS took place in the control centre in Vienna Austria. Croatia Control will follow 2014 implementing the COOPANS-system in the control centre in Croatia.
The COOPANS-alliance is still open for new partners; to facilitate the harmonisation efforts and because an even broader group of partners contributes to yet lower development costs as well.
