Feasibility Study for a Remote Tower for the Brunswick and Emden aerodromes
Germany, Brunswick and Emden
DFS Aviation Services conducted a feasibility study on using remote tower technology for Braunschweig-Wolfsburg and Emden airports in Germany. The study aimed to determine if providing air navigation services remotely would be efficient. The focus was on integrating additional airports in Lower Saxony or neighboring German states and exploring the possibility of replacing the existing tower at Braunschweig-Wolfsburg airport with a Remote Tower Control Center. The study analysed advantages, disadvantages, and required camera and sensor technology.

Feasibility study for the establishment of a separate dedicated Apron Management Services (AMS) unit
America
A major airport in America with two parallel runways wants to grow further to achieve the plans defined within its Master Plan. Necessarily this means that air traffic services need to accompany in this road of growth, so that it can operate more than the current over 300,000 annual aircraft movements.
One of the actions that would enable such growth was the specialisation of roles in regard to air traffic services, and precisely the establishment of a separate dedicated unit for Apron Management Services (AMS). This new unit would alleviate the incumbent air traffic control unit, so that their resources can focus on the taxiway and runway system.
DFS Aviation Services was contracted to assess the feasibility of establishing a separate dedicated unit for Apron Management Services (AMS), which would consider the specifics of the status quo within that airport, the proposal of how the new service could be (operationally and financially), its potential location, technology and ATM-Systems, and a detailed action plan and schedule to implement the new service. The outcome of the project enabled the customer to make an informed decision on whether to maintain AMS within the ANSP, or whether to externalise it.

Civil-Military Cooperation
Reorganisation of Civil-Military Integration in Germany
Germany
The aim of the project was to integrate military area control into the civil ANSP organisation in Germany. Over nearly two decades, this integration revealed the need for updates at the ministerial and strategic levels due to unexpected advancements in tactical cooperation. Supported by experts from DFS and AFSBw, a new structure of bodies was established, including the Civil-Military ATM Committee (A-ZMZ) and Strategic Steering Groups for harmonising technology strategies and airspace coordination.
