London Mil means that we are looking to Indra amd a fictional system called iTEC, not AENA.

iTEC is the future Mr Pint, the Tiger (or is that Tigger? ggggrrooowwwlll) teams say that a complete FDP replacement for NAS can be specified, designed, built, tested and implemented by 2011. Who are we to question their joint wisdom?

Absoloutely correct. I have every confidence in the project and remain totally convinced that iTEC will be delivered on time and to budget. Possibly even ahead of time.

I didn't take the bottle!!

I trust it was the usual standalone simulation with a fancy display, no radar, no FDP. I can't wait.

To add... I think that iTEC is a suped up vaforit. vaforit (to me) was a terrific system when I saw a REAL one recently. I don't doubt the product, just the application and, most definately the proposed time-scale.

I'm sorry for digging up an old thread!

What happened to SACTA in NATS? And what's the current agenda for implementing the new FDPS (iTEC) in NATS' units?

To Spanish controllers, I'm also curious to know where AENA stands in the implementation of SACTA 4 and iTEC in its units.

Cheers!

We are scheduled to implement SACTA 4 in Spain during 2013. The new features have been developed with little or any ATCos' participation, due to the labour and professional conflict we are involved in.
We expect many changes, lack of instruction, short familiarisation times, useless features and adaptation problems.
Regards,
Á.

We got all that despite being involved in our 'improvements'!
