This Memorandum of Understanding has as main goal the collaboration between entity is to develop next generation of ATM operation. There are four main points that both entities want to develop. First the impact of digital trends on aviation. Then take in consideration and raise the importance of artificial intelligence. The third point is to develop on ATM system architecture: future ready to allow newly advanced technology to easily incorporate into operation. Finally, explore mixed airspace for manned aircraft and drone.
“Thales no longer views digital revolution as an emerging trend but as an immediate reality, with a €1billion investment in digital technology already materialised by the Group. The aviation ecosystem is one of the domains we feel will benefit most from digitisation. Through this multidisciplinary relationship CAAS and Thales will collaborate for the air traffic management of the future, and we could not be prouder.” perfectly summurize Thales Executive Vice President (EVP) for Land and Air Systems Mr Alex Cresswell
