COMSOFT Delivers ADS-B Message Software to Eurocontrol

COMSOFT says it has delivered a new version of software for its RMCDE (radar message conversion and distribution equipment) to Eurocontrol for final testing before being released to other interested users.

The first field installation of COMSOFT's RMCDE - for test purposes - was completed for the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority (HCAA) last October in Athens.  Ground stations currently are being installed at the Athens airport as well as connections to the ACC (area control center) and ARTAS (advanced radar tracker and server).  These steps will allow Eurocontrol, along with HCAA and the Eurocontrol Experimental Centre to begin the next phase of ADS-B trials in Mediterranean air space.

According to COMSOFT, this comprehensive software package supports not only ADS-B but all kinds of conventional surveillance radar systems including Mode-S (mode "select" secondary surveillance radar).  02-22-2007.
