Technical requirements: LVNL seeks information regarding innovative solutions for the automation of pseudo-pilot tasks to improve efficiency, i.e. to reduce personnel costs, increase available training time and offer more flexibility in planning, starting from simulators to the operational domain. In order to achieve this automation, the emulation of operators and radar data is needed. In this regard, the emulation of voice will play an important role for the use of simulators: basic simulator; tower simulator; AAA simulator.
The OMC also aims to understand the operators' capabilities to satisfy LVNL's needs and to obtain market parties' input on the viability of the possible future envisaged procurement plans and conditions as described in this OMC and related documents.
ATC-NL is a Dutch independent administrative organisation that is responsible for providing air traffic services to civil air traffic in the Dutch airspace in a safe, efficient, and environmentally sensible way. In the Dutch Aviation Act this and all other tasks of ATC-NL have been laid down. Besides the provision of air traffic services these tasks consist of the provision of CNS services (including the modernization and management of these technical systems), giving aeronautical information, catering for air traffic control training and providing aviation charts and publications. In short, ATC-NL is responsible for the control of air traffic in the Dutch civil airspace as well as parts of the North Sea area and everything related thereto. ATC-NL became operational in 1923 and since 1993 as a so called ‘Independent Administrative Body (ZBO)’.
