Automation
At Indra, we design, develop, and implement our air traffic management solutions with clear objectives: to maximise safety and efficiency in airspace operations, optimise its operational capacity, and drive sustainability.
We have extensive experience in complex air traffic control (ATC) projects and in integrating different in-house and third-party solutions.
We specialise in the deployment of turnkey control centres, traffic flow management, and solutions aimed at building the Single European Sky to optimise resources, reduce emissions, and improve system interoperability.
We offer a centralised air traffic management suite for all flight phases and tower solutions, both conventional and digital, enhancing situational awareness and safety, and enabling remote management or use as contingency solutions.
Advanced automation to optimise air traffic control
iACM optimises airspace during the strategic, pre-tactical, tactical, and post-operational phases of ATM operations. It is an ATC-independent solution, yet fully interoperable with ATC and airline systems.
It enables the management of Air Traffic Flow (ATFM), providing an advanced balance between demand and capacity, as well as end-to-end trajectories, with a preventive approach aimed at avoiding incidents such as diversions or congestion.
In addition, it offers real-time simulation tools and “what-if” functionality for decision-making, and supports long-term planning through post-operational analysis, thereby improving environmental impact and passenger experience.
iTEC SkyNex is a multinational alliance of eight ANSPs: DFS, ENAIRE, NATS, LVNL, Avinor, PANSA, Oro Navigacija, and NAV CANADA. Indra is the sole technology partner of this alliance, a pioneer in this transformation, whose mission is to achieve the digital single sky.
It provides services to the most complex airspaces with advanced technologies such as 4D trajectory. It optimises airspace capacity, reducing flight times, fuel consumption, and CO₂ emissions. Its focus on automation enhances safety and operational efficiency.
- 26 million km² of airspace
- 27 control centres
- 5,000+ miles covered with the same technology
- 12+ million flights per year
ManagAir is Indra's centralised air traffic management system that optimises capacity and operational efficiency from flight planning to execution. Based on 4D trajectories, it reduces controller workload, enables more direct routes, and minimises environmental impact. It also incorporates advanced tools for the approach phase to increase airspace efficiency and reduce emissions.
It uses cutting-edge technologies and architectures such as virtualisation, cybersecurity, synchronisation, and service-oriented architecture (SOA).
ManagAir is aligned with SESAR's Master Plan standards, ICAO's ASBU framework, and the FAA's NextGen initiative.
The system integrates with other portfolio solutions, such as flow management, camera systems, tower visual simulation, or sectorization with VCCS.
- 50+ countries
- 50%+ FIR
- 20%+ total airspace
Indra has modular and scalable state-of-the-art technology for control towers that integrates automation and surface movement management (A-SMGCS Level 4) with electronic flight strips, applicable to both conventional towers and those featuring advanced digital visualization and augmented reality capabilities.
These systems optimise ground operations, increase situational awareness—with a clear boost in night-time capacity and low-visibility conditions—and enhance safety, leveraging augmented reality, thermal cameras, tracking functionalities, and AI.
They integrate with other airport systems, such as surveillance and communication systems, or AeroBoss, which is already in operation at several towers in the U.S. AeroBoss is Indra’s system that provides real-time situational awareness of aircraft and vehicles at the airport. With an intuitive map and tools for incursion monitoring and conflict alerts, it improves safety and operational efficiency.
Micro Nav Best Simulation Suite, Indra’s simulation and training solution, offers a comprehensive ATC simulation system and control tower training with AI and virtual reality technologies, for both civil and military training.
It features industry-leading 3D graphics that replicate realistic weather conditions, thunderstorms, and aircraft behavior.
Designed for end-to-end training in en-route, approach, and tower operations, it enables simultaneous exercises and operates as a backup center in case of emergency.
