White paper – “It is in the DNA”: How to induce Change and Innovation in the ATM Industry – 17.03.2009

The AlbatrossTM Open Source community project is a key initiative to boost innovation in the ATM industry. This whitepaper discusses the market conditions and industry factors that have brought about this highly disruptive, yet critically necessary change in the ATM industry’s approach to technology development.

The founder of the Albatross project is Skysoft-ATM’s Manager, Didier Berling. From its start in 2001, Mr. Berling and his development team built ATM software products based on the vision that it was possible to create solutions that were of higher performance and compatible with commodity hardware. The realization of this vision resulted in a change in market dynamics, and brought more flexible, lower cost solutions to the ATM operators.

This vision and philosophy has in its roots a desire to facilitate positive change to the aviation industry. The Albatross project is a continuation of that vision and philosophy, and will now benefit and bring positive change to the aviation industry again, through an Open Source collaborative platform.

Skysoft-ATM is a strong believer in the key role Albatross can play in facilitating our industry and encourages all professionals to access and contribute to the technologies made available under the Albatross project. 

Skysoft-ATM aims to encourage a new era of cooperation of ATM users, manufacturers, developers, regulators and academics to contribute to more open and cost-efficient ATM solutions, for a more secure airspace and to better service the global airport sector.
