Indra, the global technology and consulting company, has signed a crucial contract with the French Air Navigation Services Directorate (DSNA) for the comprehensive modernization of the surface movement guidance and control system (A-SMGCS) of the Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG).
With a record of 70 million passengers in 2024 and the unique ability to manage three simultaneous takeoffs or landings, the Charles de Gaulle Airport faces a constant operational challenge. The implementation of technology InNOVA Indra's new aircraft will provide DSNA air traffic controllers with a precise and optimized view of operations across its four runways and three control towers. This modernization is a significant step forward in meeting the objectives of CP1, which seeks to improve efficiency, safety, and sustainability at the continent's main airports.
"We are delighted to continue our collaboration with DSNA and contribute to the transformation of one of Europe's largest airports," he said. Enrique Castillo, Director of Business Development for ATM at Indra. "This contract reinforces our commitment to the continuous improvement of air traffic management systems and to supporting the growth of the aviation industry through safe and sustainable technology."
This new phase of the project, which follows an initial implementation focused on ensuring reliable operations during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, will upgrade the system with cutting-edge InNOVA technology. Indra's InNOVA system stands out for its ability to collect and process key information about aircraft and surface vehicles, filtering out irrelevant data to facilitate more agile and secure decision-making.
The update will include more efficient management of flight and operations data. Crucially, safety will be strengthened through automatic alerts that detect potential conflicts, warning controllers in real time of route deviations or cross-instructions that could compromise safety. In addition, Indra will implement new functions to optimize ground trajectories, which will result in reduced taxiing time, thus minimizing fuel consumption and emissions. CO2 .
DSNA has relied on Indra's ground surveillance system since 1997. Indra's InNOVA technology is not only essential in Paris, but is also operational at other world-renowned airports such as Heathrow (UK), Zurich (Switzerland), Incheon (South Korea) and Toronto pearson (Canada), demonstrating its reliability and contribution to minimizing delays and cancellations globally.
