Coflight

COFLIGHT deliveries a remote Flight Data Processing service to ANSPs. It enhances European ATM Performance
Coflight, is one of the most advanced Flight Data Processing Systems (FDPS) in Europe, designed and developped by a Franco-Italian coopération (DSNA-ENAV & Thales-Seles ES) on e-FDP Eurocontrol specifications. Coflight is compliant with all new European standards.

With « Coflight as a Service », DSNA and ENAV will provide FDP remote service and system maintenance to ANSPs. It will be made avaible to the customers via a SWIM compliant, cloud computing system.

Coflight’s advantages

• Gate-to-gate eFDP
• 4-D trajectory prediction
• Vertical profil management using all the Requested Flight Level (RFL)
• Modification of routes
• Monitoring alerts for flight data discrepancies
• Datalink capabilities
• Interoperability functions
• Flexible use of airspace

Coflight, a close collaboration process with the customers

• A reliable high-performance solution
• Updates of latest Coflight versions and SESAR ATM functionalities
• Reduce your investment and operating cost (ANSPs remotely use the same system to deliver FDP)
• Defining future service evolutions through a collaborative process (Coflight User Group

BOLT (Big data Operational Live Trajectory)

Thanks to BOLT, a standardized digital trajectory platform based on Coflight, DSNA innovates and becomes an enabler of aviation Business Intelligence solutions.

The CODACAS project (Convergence Of DSNA And COOPANS ATM Systems)

CODACAS Project Moving Forward

CODACAS is a partnership between COOPANS and DSNA aiming at studying the feasibility of procuring a common core of their ATM systems.

As a result of the CODACAS-1A project ended in December 2015, the common core will be based on the component Coflight (the new Flight Data Processing System used by DSNA).

Since the beginning of the CODACAS-1B project in February 2016, COOPANS and DSNA experts have been performing the comparison of the functionalities offered by Coflight with the ones offered by the current COOPANS system. This comparison is carried out in parallel on paperwork and using a Coflight-based demonstrator located in DSNA premises in Toulouse. The demonstrator runs now with Austrian operational data such as airspace, letters of agreement, … allowing the COOPANS air traffic controllers to evaluate the component with a high level of reliability. Through many workshops in 2016 and 2017, the teams have constructed a mutual trust and a common point of view. On a strategic level, work is on-going to issue an implementation roadmap which would allow to meet the SESAR Implementing Rules milestones.

A seminar took place in Vienna in September 2017, gathering technical experts, project managers and CTOs. It allowed to build a common view of the work already performed and of the remaining steps required to reach the objectives.

The project is co-financed by the European Union.
