IDS AirNav has signed a contract with a new client, the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN), for the supply and support of an advanced aeronautical information management system.
CAAN is responsible for civil aviation and air navigation services over approximately 150,000 square kilometers of airspace and on the 34 operational airports in Nepal.
The contract includes the deployment of the AMHS (Aeronautical Message Handling System) and CRONOS systems. CRONOS is a platform for the dissemination of aeronautical information such as NOTAMs (Notice To Air Men), which inform flight crews about route conditions, radio navigation aid efficiency, and any changes in the availability of airspace or runways in use, as well as weather data and pre-flight briefing bulletins.
CRONOS, a high-performance, high-availability digital archive, thanks to its integration with the AMHS messaging system, governs and facilitates the exchange of aeronautical information, making it easy to read and disseminate among all aviation stakeholders such as airports, airlines, air forces and weather services. The system is expected to be operational by 2025.
