Safety in Air Traffic Management (ATM) has always been a priority, but the increasing demand for air travel presents a new challenge. As the industry pushes to integrate new technologies to manage growing air traffic flows, Thales has developed TopSky – ATC new release, designed to allow faster integration while maintaining safety and efficiency. This is achieved through innovative partnerships and a subscription-based model that fosters collaboration across the ATM ecosystem.

The air traffic management sector is at a pivotal moment. As air traffic grows, the need to safely integrate new technologies becomes more urgent. Thales is responding with a solution that focuses on partnership and shared resources to ensure a future where ATM is safer, more flexible, and capable of meeting the challenges of increasing air traffic demand

As air traffic continues to rise, managing the flow of aircraft and ensuring safety is increasingly complex. Thales has recognized that the future of ATM lies in accelerating technological integration while maintaining rigorous safety standards. Through TopSky - ATC new release, Thales is embracing collaboration with stakeholders to share resources, build trust, and collectively address the industry's evolving needs. This solution aims to not only improve operational efficiency but also set a new standard for safety and security in ATM.

A new era for Air Traffic Management

The world of air traffic management is evolving. With the introduction of TopSky – ATC, Thales provides an upgrade designed for faster integration and adaptation to growing traffic flows. The solution isn’t just about a system; it’s a service-oriented approach that involves collaboration with stakeholders to build a shared vision for the future.

The partnership model at the heart of this solution enables Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) and Thales to work together, defining shared goals and technological innovations for the ATM sector. This approach leads to a more agile and adaptable system that can handle unpredictable traffic patterns.

Alliance One: The Power of Partnership

Thales understands that collaboration is key to building the future of ATM. Through Alliance One, a users’ alliance within the TopSky – ATC product framework, ANSPs and Thales work closely to shape the future of air traffic control. This cooperative approach ensures that technological innovations and regulatory needs are aligned across the globe.

The Alliance One framework brings together various stakeholders to collaborate on the development of new air traffic management concepts and technologies. This initiative aims to reduce fragmentation in the ATM sector and promote the sharing of resources and knowledge, ultimately contributing to safer, more efficient air traffic systems.

Technological innovation and regulatory efficiency

One of the significant challenges in ATM is adapting to new technologies while meeting stringent safety regulations. Thales’ new governance model allows for the rapid development and integration of innovations, ensuring that systems can evolve alongside the growing regulatory requirements. The subscription service model enables continuous updates, ensuring that ANSPs can keep pace with both technological advancements and regulatory changes without the need for costly, one-off system upgrades.

This completely new and innovative governance model guarantees the delivery of a world leading product that regularly evolves and allows customers and Thales to work together to define key domain priorities that can increase operational efficiency and return on investment
