ASECNA - Capacity Enhancement TA Program

under disbursement

The Project is part of a multinational Air Traffic Control (ATC) equipment modernisation programme, which includes modernisation of many Air Traffic Management (ATM), Communication, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) and meteorological systems that are currently in operation even though they are already fully depreciated and are in use only because of life extension programmes. Some of the equipment is outdated and obsolete, which reduces the reliability of the service ASECNA is providing and increases the cost of maintenance. The project comprises the acquisition and construction of the following components: (i) Aerodrom Services: lighting, buildings, electrical and ground telecommunications networks(ii) Communications: software upgrade, installations and equipment, telecommunication network upgrade, implementation of a secure broadband satellite network(iii) Navigation: GNSS systems(iv) Surveillance: ADS-B roll out & study on future surveillance requirements(v) Meteorological equipmentThe EU-AITF Technical Assistance grant will be used in the area of internal management. The TA will be split into two phases: (i) a preparatory phase (Preparatory TA- completed) - to validate the scope of the Capacity Enhancement TA program, and(ii) the Capacity Enhancement TA. The latter includes the following three components: _____________________ ITF ASECNA Flyer
