Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) has been selected to supply a
next-generation, VoIP communication system to support the Republic
of Turkey’s air traffic management (ATM) services. Harris was
chosen following a rigorous review by Devlet Hava Meydanlari
Isletmesi (DHMI), Turkey’s air navigation service provider
(ANSP).
Harris will provide DHMI with its cloud-based Voice
Communication System for the 21st Century (VCS21). The system
modernizes ATM programs by delivering net-centric voice
communications that reduce dependency on traditional point-to-point
communications, while supporting an efficient transition to
IP-based communications. It will be installed at seven facilities
in Turkey, and will include more than 337 controller working
positions that can access up to 52 radio sites across DHMI control
operations.
"The Harris VCS21™ system is now supporting three of the world’s
premier ANSPs – Turkey’s DHMI, the U.K. NATS, and the U.S. FAA –
that are at the forefront of modernizing ATM worldwide,” said Ed
Sayadian, president, Harris Mission Networks. “VCS21 will be a key
enabler of ATM modernization and growth worldwide.”
The VCS21 system will be part of the Single European Sky ATM
Research (SESAR) project, a collaborative initiative to modernize
European airspace and air traffic control. DHMI plans to invest in
new technologies to enable SESAR and other future concepts. VCS21
is a major step in this program, providing important networked
voice capabilities that are more resilient and cost effective. It
will enable dynamic rerouting of established flight sectors,
provide more reliable contingency planning, and improved asset
sharing that facilitates both flexible airspace use and future
facility planning.
