Under this Agreement, BEL and AAI will jointly develop a Civil Air Traffic
Management System (ATMS) with Advanced-Surface Movement Guidance and
Control System (ASMGCS), a complex ground surveillance system that manages air
traffic at airports and in Indian Civil Airspace for the safe operation of flights from
take-off to landing.
Sanjeev Kumar, Chairman AAI said, “AAI is committed for safe and efficient Air
Navigation Services across Indian airspace/airports enhancing capacity and costeffective and environment-friendly services to its customers. AAI regularly upgrades
the ATM system at the airports in line with evolving global service standards.”
“The present agreement is in conformity with AAI’s R&D Policy to upgrade its ANS
Infrastructure in a systematic, efficient and cost-effective manner and in compliance
with the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ missions of the Government of India. This will reduce
AAI’s foreign dependency for the procurement of ANS infrastructure. I wish this will
open a new chapter of collaboration in the Indian Aviation Industry,” he added.
After signing the agreement, MV Rajasekhar, Director (R&D), BEL said that they
have strived to expand their array of solutions for various non-defence business
segments.
“This Agreement with AAI is a major step towards the ‘Make in India’ and
‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ missions of the government of India. The agreement aims at
leveraging the complementary strengths and capabilities of BEL and AAI and
enabling both to address airport modernization opportunities,” he said.
The dual purpose of air traffic control is to ensure safety, maintain separation
between multiple aircraft, and efficient management of operations at the airport and
Indian airspace. ASMGCS provides routing, guidance and surveillance services to
aircraft and vehicles, on the ground, in order to maintain safe surface movement in
all weather conditions at the airport. (ANI)
