MWA Software is pleased to announce that Eurocontrol has awarded the company a follow on software development and support contract for the LISAT system. LISAT (Link2000+ Statistics and Analysis Tool) was developed by MWA Software for Eurocontrol and provides a database of all Air/Ground Data Communications messages used for ATN and FANS/1 Flights in European Airspace. ATN Data Link equipage is now mandatory for new commercial aircraft operating in European Airspace and from 2014 must be retrofitted to all aircraft. The LISAT is used for analysis of the use of datalink and also provides an historical record. It is now being rolled out to European ATC Centres.

Delphi Components Support Notice
MWA Software has provided and will continue to support its JPEG, GIF and Texting editing components for Delphi/C++Builder 2007 and older. However, recognising that all of our current business is moving rapidly to Linux based systems, we are currently not planning to upgrade internally to later versions of Delphi/C++ Builder and hence make no offers of support for later versions. Our users may wish to note that Delphi 2007 compiled programs appear to work very well under Linux/Wine.

ARINC 750 Troublemaker
MWA Software is pleased to announced that it has been selected by the Brussels based Eurocontrol Agency to develop a test system known as the "ARINC 750 Troublemaker". This will support the enhancement of the existing single frequency VDL2 air/ground communications systems to multi-frequency operations. The troublemaker will be used as part of the ground based test suite at EEC Bretigny and on test aircraft.
MWA Software has developed many software systems for Eurocontrol including the eduKator Training Management system and the Link2000+ Information Statistics and Analysis Tool (LISAT) used to maintain a database of CPDLC air/ground communcations. This is in use by Eurocontrol and now being adopted by other European Air Navigation Service Providers.
