ANCP

The introduction of ‘IT enabled aircraft’ – sometimes called ‘e-enabled’ or ‘digital aircraft’ – enables secure IP communications to and from the aircraft. Technologies that use the internet protocol (IP) in the air transport industry are leading to a dramatic transformation in aircraft operations, whether on the ground or in-flight. We are an active part of this transformation, being the supplier of a family of interoperable ground/naval/aerial Communications Networking Nodes.

Part of this family is the Avionics Network Computing Platform (ANCP), a secure and robust avionics data communication manager able to interface with different radio systems, ensuring a communications backbone for on-ground and in-flight critical operations. The ANCP is an integrated avionics equipment, based on Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) concept. It aims to provide safe and secure communications services and data terminal management functions to manned and unmanned platforms. Based on IP technology, it also provides gateway functionality and audio/video support for legacy communications systems.
