The key system in the new Naviair control center has been supplied by the French company Thales. The Danish version is called DATMAS, Danish Air Traffic Management System. DATMAS is an Air Traffic Management (ATM) system, by which all air traffic is controlled and monitored. In addition to Copenhagen, DATMAS will also be installed at the airports in Billund and Roskilde.

DATMAS provides sophisticated tools for the air traffic controllers to support their work in guiding aircraft safely and quickly through Danish airspace. The entire DATMAS system will therefore increase the capacity of Danish airspace and support safe and efficient management of air traffic. European cooperation It is neither economically possible nor desirable for Naviair to stand alone in the development of future air traffic management systems. Together with our sister organizations in Ireland and Sweden, we have therefore united in a standardization programme called COOPANS, Cooperation in the Procurement of Air Navigation Systems. In essence, the object of cooperating in COOPANS is to identify and develop future functions in the DATMAS system in cooperation with Thales. In addition to standardizing the systems themselves, work is also proceeding to standardize the associated procedures. All in all, this means that Naviair will reduce future development costs, improve implementation of upgrades in the process and at the same time increase both quality and service life of the entire system. In addition to the economic advantages for the individual member countries, cooperation in COOPANS is also an important aspect in the implementation of the EU “One Sky for Europe” program, which on the political side imposes requirements for standardization and efficiency on the air traffic management systems across the entire European continent. The vision is to create one common standard for air traffic services in Europe - a job that has begun in earnest with the establishment of COOPANS.
