systems. Technical specifications were drawn up
with the aim of signing a contract in early 2004.
New Flight Data Processing System
The new Flight Data Processing System (N-FDPS)
is the most fundamental technical enhancement
to the Centre’s safety, capacity and efficiencyenhancing
capabilities since the ODS
Programme. On 29 April 2003, the Centre signed a
€39 million agreement with Spanish systems
provider Indra ATM to provide a new FDPS to start
operation in November 2007. The contract foresees
a major option for another €9.5 million for
the development of an eFDPS-compliant version
to be completed by mid-2009. This is the largest
contract the Centre has placed in 30 years.
The new FDPS will include at least all the functionalities
available from the current FDPS by
2007, aim at additional functionalities to cope
with 2007 traffic levels and be capable of evolving
towards eFDPS-compliance, including interoperability.
During 2003, Centre staff successfully demonstrated
that the new system will be able to integrate
fully with the ODS architecture.Work also
concentrated on the development of a controller
working position Human-Machine
Interface to ensure that controllers will be able
to benefit from the functionalities offered by the
new system.
Automatic processing of flight plan messages
The Centre continued to develop its system for
automatically processing flight plan messages –
a system which substantially reduces the workload
in the operations room. In August 2003,
78 % of all flight plan messages were automated.
Another major development in this area was the
introduction of a system to process safety-critical
messages up to ten minutes earlier, reducing the
number of messages which need urgent attention
by up to 60%, leading to important improvements
in controller workload.
Mode-S: a new type of radar
During 2003 a feasibility study was carried out to
examine some of the technical challenges in
meeting the implementation date for elementary
Mode-S (31 March 2005), so when the first
Mode-S radar signals are received they can be
processed by the new ARTAS version and displayed
seamlessly on the new ODS workstations.
The Centre has been working as part of the
European Mode-S steering group with ATC service
providers from Germany, the Netherlands and
Switzerland to examine the benefits and challenges
of the programme.
A new future for the old operations room
To keep pace with traffic and systems development,
Maastricht UAC is growing. Increasing
numbers of controllers, trainees and support staff
need to be accommodated.At the same time, the
increased focus on safety has called for additional
requirements in terms of training and certification
of operational and technical staff. With the
new ODS operations room now firmly established,
the Centre has put in place plans to optimise
the space which has become available in
the former operations room. During 2003, Centre
staff completed the technical specification and
pre-engineering phase of the programme to
refurbish the former operations room to accommodate
new training systems, test/development
equipment and incident investigation workstations.
This involved planning for the complete
renewal of the technical infrastructure, including
air conditioning and ventilation systems, with a
view to having the refurbished room gradually
repopulated with improved test and training

facilities, part of which will become operational
by the end of 2004.At a later stage, this room will
host in-house contingency sectors.
Green light for the building extension project
For the past few years, a temporary structure has
been used to house many staff, the life of which
was extended following the crisis which hit the
air transport industry after the events of 11
September 2001. In 2003, practical work began
on planning a new, permanent extension. The
pre-design phase of the building was completed
and various permission requests submitted to
local authorities. The new extension will add
2,500m2 of additional working space over four
floors and should be ready by September 2005.
INNOVATION:
TAKING ATM INTO THE FUTURE
The Maastricht Centre has for many years played
a key role in validating and prototyping new
technologies, which have already improved safety,
capacity and airspace efficiency.
