Embraer Group company Atech, which specialises in systems engineering, decision support and situational awareness technologies, has signed two new contracts with Brazil’s Department of Airspace Control (DECEA). Worth $17m, the contracts involve the modernisation of control centres and upgrade of strategic solutions for the management of national airspace flow. The solutions, Sagitario and Sigma, have both been developed by Atech in partnership with the Brazilian Airspace Control System Implementation Commission (CISCEA/DECEA).
Sagitario is an essential system for air traffic management throughout Brazil. The system processes data from various sources, such as radars and satellites, consolidating them into a single visual interface for air traffic controllers. This integrated view of the airspace enables faster and more accurate decision-making, ensuring the safety and smooth flow of air traffic, according to Atech.
Sigma is a complete solution for air traffic flow management, which optimises the management of air traffic information, flight plans, airway and airport capacities, in addition to distributing air traffic more efficiently.
The signing of these new contracts reinforces a long-standing partnership between Atech and DECEA.
“We feel honoured and committed to DECEA/CISCEA. These contracts mark an important milestone for Atech and for the development of aerospace technology in Brazil. We believe that the modernised solutions will contribute significantly to the optimisation of Brazilian air traffic, benefiting passengers, airlines, and the aviation sector as a whole,” said Atech CEO Rodrigo Persico.
