ThalesRaytheonSystems ACCS to provide NATO interoperability
During the tests, the system handled a daily number of military air movements several times higher than
for any operations conducted up to now, proving its high level of performance and its ability to
interconnect NATO and National Air Command and Control (AirC2) units across four European nations
into a single integrated AirC2 system.
“This success marks a key milestone in the adoption of the ACCS system by NATO member nations. It
will be phased in alongside existing national systems and then replace them progressively, ultimately
enabling member nations to plan and conduct air operations together in a full automated manner,” said
Enzo Montalti, Director AirC2 Programme Office and Services, at NATO Communications and Information Agency.
“This is the last milestone before full deployment of ACCS in all European NATO nations. Once fully
deployed, the system will protect 10 million sq km. of European airspace against a range of threats by
coordinating systems in member nations,” said Philippe Duhamel, CEO of ThalesRaytheonSystems.
