AMHS: Deployment on-going

� AMHS (Aeronautical Message Handling System) was specified in ICAO SARPs

(doc. 9880) as a replacement of outdated AFTN/CIDIN

� Based on ITU-T X.400 messaging standards

� European implementation specified in ICAO EUR/AMHS Manual and AMHS CS

� Last 10 years more than 80% of states in Europe purchased AMHS equipment

and performed conformance and interoperability tests

� No real worldwide AMHS deployment activities until last year

� Today, 20 AMHS international links, 26 states operating AMHS including US,

UK, Germany, Spain, Austria, China, India, Japan, Singapore, Egypt, Brazil,

Argentina, Peru, etc…

� Deployment is on-going worldwide

Ex: AFTN/CIDIN/AMHS network

EUROCONTROL and AMHS

� Supported development of ICAO ATN/AMHS SARPs (1994-2002)

� Together with 4 other ANSPs developed SPACE Study on AMHS Implementation Planning in 2002

� Developed ECG Gateway (1997-2003)

� Developed AMHS CS (2008-2009)

� Developed ATS Messaging Management Manual (EUR doc 21)

� Supported development of EUR/AMHS Manual (EUR doc 20)

� Developed and implemented AMHS common facilities at EUROCONTROL:

� Off-line Network Management Centre (AMC, implemented)

� Directory Services (EDS, being implemented)

� Underlying Transport Network (PENS, implemented)

� Security Form (will be implemented probably on EDS)

ATS Messaging Management Centre (AMC)

� Deliver off-line network management services in support of the integrated

AFTN/CIDIN/AMHS network on behalf of ICAO EANPG

� The only focal point with complete visibility of the entire worldwide

AFTN/CIDIN/AMHS network

� Entrusted by ICAO HQ as the global focal point for the management of AMHS

Addresses

� Used for generation and distribution of routing tables for each COM centre in the

EUR/NAT Regions on AIRAC cycle basis

� Provides implementation support needed during transition from AFTN/CIDIN to

AMHS

� Developed and implemented by EUROCONTROL in close cooperation with ICAO

AFSG

� Operation, outsourced to EUROCONTROL member states

� Service, provided to 45 states in the EUR/NAT Regions free of charge

European Directory Service (EDS)

Specified in ICAO SARPs (doc 9880) based on X.500 Standards

� On the request of AFSG, EUROCONTROL developed EDS Operational Concept Document in 2011

� In April 2012, the document was accepted by the AFSG and integrated in the EUR/AMHS Manuel

� The initial DIB of EDS contains AMHS address management and users capabilities data from AMC

� The DIB can easily be extended to include other object classes from different applications including security

� Eurocontrol is currently launching a CfT for implementation of Central European Directory Server at EUROCONTROL based on the operational concept

Conclusion

� The meeting is invited to:

� Note that AMHS deployment is on-going.

� Note that Directory Services are about to be validated

� PENS is an enabler for AMHS.
