NAVIAIR
ACCEPTS COMMISSIONING OF GWDI’S MESSAGE HANDLING AND
MET INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Monterey, California, USA, March 15, 2005.
Global Weather Dynamics, Inc. (GWDI) announces that NAVIAIR
has accepted the commissioning of its Message Handling and
MET Information Systems.
In 1985, GWDI supplied its first AFTN message switch and in
1988 its first Aeronautical Information System (AIS) and OPMET
databank to the Danish Civil Aviation Administration.
The systems were hosted on Data General Computers and have
been operating until the recent upgrade.
The new systems installed at Copenhagen airport include GWDI’s
Message Handling System (MHS) and MET Information System hosted
on high-end Intel-based servers running the Linux OS and MySQL
RDBMS offering a major reduction in the operating costs of
the systems.
The MHS is a multi-protocol, multi-message format message-handling
server supporting all the networks, message formats, and procedures
used in the aeronautical community. In Copenhagen, the
MHS is configured for AFTN and CIDIN message handling procedures.
It is also configured with a Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) for the monitoring of operational parameters.
The MET Information System supports the acquisition, storage
and distribution of meteorological data and products.
The weather information generated by the system is used not
only by the pilots but also by other CNS/ATM systems operated
by Naviair.
“Over the past 20 years, Naviair and GWDI have established
a long term partnership that will continue to expand in the
future.” said John Fort, COO at GWDI.
