48 YEARS DELIVERING CNS/ATM SOLUTIONS

NUCLEO history starts in 1965 NÚCLEO started operating back in 1965 in the aviation industry. In 1974, our electro-mechanical pre-VCCS was built for the Air Traffic Control activity and 1978 saw the birth of our first generation solid-state VCCS. Recently, in our 45th anniversary serving the aviation market, we issued our fifth generation: a EuroCAE compliant IP-native VCCS for the ATM sector.

OPERACIONES

Aeropuertos Total NUCLEO offers the same platform for small and large centres NÚCLEO is the only VCCS manufacturer that has been offering one single platform for small and large ATC centres. As an example, Madrid-Barajas airport has a unique redundant VCCS for 39 ATC controllers deployed in 3 different sites and 3 hierarchical levels. Burgos has one of the lowest traffic air-port in Spain and has a VCCS with two position. Both systems share the same hardware. So does 80% of AENA airports allowing a cost-effective spare management.

IMPORTANT PLAYER IN THE SPANISH CNS/ATM DOMAIN

NUCLEO was the first Company to supply a VCCS System in Spain It started covering needs of communica-tions for Operations Management Centres, which require accessing to a great variety of radio and telephony resources trough an operator console. It uses NÚCLEO’s gateway to interface legacy radios, Tetra, Hot line, R2, N5, enabling them to be operated through an IP connectivity.

NÚCLEO, a Group Duro Felguera Company

NUCLEO will be the first Company to install a dual IP/PCM VCCS at Vitoria Airport The System consists of two independent VCCS: one is EURO-CAE-compliant IP and one is from traditional PCM technology. Unlike a main-contingency configuration, the ATC control posi-tion is unique for both systems.

NUCLEO is the largest TWR turn-key integrator in Spain NUCLEO is aware that ATC centres are not only VCCS. ATC projects require an important level of knowledge and integration. That’s why we are a turn-key projects company. We do integrate VCCS, radios, weather equipment, timing, power, and all the necessary equipment. We have also inhouse mechanical design and civil engineering capability. .

AERONAUTICAL SOLUTIONS

HIGHEST VCCS SYSTEM MARKET SHARE IN SPAIN

80% of the Spanish airports have a VCCS that has been

manufactured, installed and commissioned by NÚCLEO. According to

AENA’s statistics, 1.699.142 aircrafts operations (80,2% of the

traffic) and 626.141.278 passengers (96% of the total) where guided

to their destination through our VCCS.

Since 2000, NÚCLEO is contributing to the African recent aviation market

growth by modernising ASECNA countries ATC Centres. Important contracts

have also been achieved in Mali and Namibia.

Since 1999 delivered VCCS systmes for most of COCESNA

ATC Towers

• Minimum performance requirements of an IP Network aimed to support Voice in ATM

ATM communication networks are adopting, by a process of gradual evolution, a common infrastructure for voice and data services.

SESAR: Actions to comply with interoperability in the SES

• Identify and define the sistems and components

involved in ATM

• Define a Verification Procedure based on the experience of the Administrations and with the collaboration of suppliers and manufacturers.

• Establish coordination mechanisms with National Supervising Authorities

• Develop and progressively implement the final procedure to apply in the acquisition and operation of new equipment

VoIP IN ATM SYSTEMS CNS/ATM

MIGRATION TO IP

• QoS/CoS • Reliability/Availability

• Security • Interoperability

IP NETWORK COMPLIANCE

QoS / CoS

• IP Network will provide methods of categorizing traffic into different classes, also called Class of Service (CoS), and applying QoS parameters to those classes.

• IP Network will provide methods of prioritizing traffic based on Class of Service.

Reliability / Availability

• IP Network will achieve the required availability of the overall system (99.99%).

• IP Network will achieve an availability of 99.999% including backup mechanisms.

Security

• Confidentiality • Integrity • Availability • Security Policy • Static firewalling rules can be used for Raw RTP

sessions in the IP Network. • IP Recorder (Legal recording) will only be

connected to protected LAN’s.

AERONAUTICAL IP SOLUTIONS VCCS CD40

Voice and data convergence in multimedia IP networks is increasingly widespread. In response to this trend, NÚCLEO has developed the CD-40, a Voice and Data Communication Management and Control System (VCCS) over IP. This is the 5th generation of this type of products developed by our company, which has been in the market for over 40 years. The CD-40 has been designed following the specifications laid down by the EUROCAE Working Group 67 (WG-67) in which the requirements for the use of VoIP technology in air traffic management (ATM) have been defined.

It is based on VoIP technology with SIP signalling, which allows it to interoperate with market-available resources following this standard and to establish peer-to-peer connections for data channels over IP networks The compatibility of this new product, the CD-40, with current analogue and digital communication resources is possible thanks to a proprietary design gateway.

Multiprotocol Test Equipment (ETM), a product specified by AENA that

monitors and analyses communication protocols, lines and voice

communication systems (VCCS) used for Air Traffic Control Centers. The

system, developed by NÚCLEO, is based on a portable PC and can

measure frequency response attenuation, gain levels, propagation

delay, signal distortion, noise levels, echo characterization, PTT and SQ

delays, speech quality.

This equipment supports several protocols like Eurocontrol standards ATS-R2, ATS-N5, AENA LCEN and in-band

signalling, FXS/FXO/BL, EUROCAE VoIP.

ETM analyzes the quality parameters of a voice communication line and compares it to Eurocontrol and Eurocae Standarts granting huge savings in trouble-shooting and maintenance activities

allowing and making it easier validation of Eurocae IP Standards compliance
