An ATN Application AMHSHigh level requirements

• Provide a messaging service over the ATN
• Deliver a level of service at least equivalent
  to that of the AFTN
• Allow transition from AFTN/CIDIN to ATN
• Enhance existing AFS service ex exchange of
  data of any format / binary /characters

The general institutional context

• ICAO The standard
• European Commission CEC / TEN-T The European
  master plan for AMHS deployment
• EUROCONTROL The financial support for an
  industrial system development

8
The E.C.G.EATMP / EUROCONTROL Communication
Gateway

• An aeronautical multi-protocol messaging gateway
• An industrial product
• with a development funded by par EUROCONTROL
• proposed to the 35 member States of the
  EUROCONTROL Organisation
• To promote the AFTN migration to the ATN and to
  the AMHS

The ECG operational context

• The AFS aeronautical messaging
• AFTN/CIDIN
• AMHS
• ATN
• For the AFS aeronautical message exchanges
• FMS (flight plans)
• AIS (NOTAM)
• MET (TAF, METAR, etc.)
• Miscellaneous (administrative etc.)

Deployment Study

• SPACE project is supported by European Commission
  funding up to the max. 50,
• partners Aena, DFS, Eurocontrol, NATS,
  DGAC/STNA
•  guidelines  provided to E.U. member States and
  to ICAO

13
SPACE outcome Recommendations in 7 areas

• Addressing
• Infrastructure and topology
• Routing
• Functionalities of ATS Message Server and AMHS
  Gateway
• Management
• Common Facilities
• Organisation

The EUROCONTROL Context

• An EUROCONTROL initiative
• co-ordinated with States (ex France / ARMOR
  Project )
• to stimulate the industry
• to propose to member States a PRODUCT
• to promote the AFS migration to the AMHS
• EUROCONTROL funds the development ( The first
  one )

ECG project the follow up

• Users requirement analysis U.R.D.
•  Price Enquiry  addressed to States
• Development / system validation
• Operational implementation and demonstration
• Generalisation (Sales to States)

16
States functional requirements

• Modularity

• Scalability

• Portability

• Use of Commercial Off The Shelf products
• (COTS)

CONCLUSION from the AFTN to the AMHS

• ICAO has defined an approved standardisation
• E.U. / SPACE is elaborating the detailed study
  for AMHS deployment in Europe
• EUROCONTROL funds the industrial component to be
  put into Ops service
• in 2003 an ECG / AMHS system compliant with ICAO
  standards is ready for deployment
