Thales Australia is building a new research and development center in Melbourne, Australia that will focus on air traffic management (ATM). The Centre for Advanced Studies in ATM (CASIA) will be the base for company's work on new ATM technology for Australia and export markets around the world.Beyond ATM research and development, CASIA will be available for use by Thales's customers, partners, and suppliers, plus other ATM stakeholders such as airlines, airports, and the military. The company will also strengthen its ties with Victorian universities and other educational institutions through shared research initiatives."CASIA is the result of long term investment in our ATM business, which has grown from just a few employees 15 years ago to a global center of excellence employing 400 people in highly skilled jobs," says Chris Jenkins, Thales Australia's chief executive officer. "Thales Australia is ideally placed to offer local, regional, and global customers the most innovative ATM solutions in the world today, building on our success with the Eurocat system and enabling effective airspace management in an era of increasing air traffic and technological complexity.CASIA will be located within Thales Australia's existing premises at Melbourne's World Trade Centre, and will begin operations early next year.
