Former Yugoslav Rep. of Macedonia Contact Mr. Branislav Petrovic Impact identified on two categories of systems: ARO (Messages Handling) Systems (EAD, CADAS and homemade MHS) and ATC Systems (Alenia and Indra) ARO will use EAD as Messages Handling Systems which will be upgraded with EAD BFB features. Implementation date is expected to be the end of February 2012. Regarding CADAS Messages Handling Systems, evaluation process of budgetary offer on-going, final decision (for upgrading or not) will be made by end of 2011. Regarding homemade MHS, it is recommended that the system be upgraded to be able to receive, process and send messages in new format by April 2012. Recommendation for ATC systems is a FPL format converter to be installed prior to receipt of ATC messages. FPL format converter, as the software, is already developed by Comsoft, Cadas system supplier. 10
Frmr. Yug. Rep. of Macedonia (cont d) Concerning FPL format converter for AIDA (Comsoft), evaluation process of budgetary offer ongiong and final decision (for upgrade or not) will be made by end of 2011. FPL format converter for homemade GV system will be implemented by the end of April 2012. The problem with new format will be solved permanently by purchasing and operating the new ATM system, which is scheduled for autumn 2013 at the earliest. The existing ATC systems, which are planned as a backup and contingency ones, will remain to function with FPL format converter. Will probably be ready to participate in one of the proposed test sessions in June, September or October 2012. Confirmation will be sent soon.
