Singapore Selects Thales for Next-generation AI-powered Air Traffic Management System Serving One of Asia’s Busiest Airspaces
To address the rapid growth in air traffic, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) has selected Thales to develop Singapore’s NexGen Air Traffic Management System (ATMS) and air traffic control radars.
Scheduled to enter operational service by 2030, the NexGen ATMS will enable air traffic controllers to provide air traffic control services safely and efficiently, handling up to one million aircraft movements annually.
Powered by advanced cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence technologies, the NexGen ATMS provides an integrated, highly automated environment that enhances controller decision-making, increases operational efficiency, and further strengthens flight safety.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) has awarded Thales a landmark contract to develop a new NexGen Air Traffic Management System (ATMS) and air traffic control radars, marking a major step towards a more efficient, safer and more sustainable aviation ecosystem. The NexGen ATMS will replace the current LORADS III system with Thales’ TopSky – ATC One solution. The project also covers knowledge transfer including through having CAAS officers join the project office in France and other localisation projects in Singapore.
