COMPANY Company data Mission Background Organisation Ownership QA Management International partners		Background The first ACAMS was developed for the Norwegian Civil Aviation Authority (NATAM) in 1998/99. NATAM realised the need to provide the air traffic controllers with a modern, better-arranged working environment as replacement of the ever-increasing number of monitors, controls of diverse appearance and age in an overloaded console. The R&D contract was awarded the domestic Norwegian company Artech AS (Automation & Robot Technique). Artech did at the time already have a working relationship with NATAM supplying a number of Airfield Lighting Control systems at many Norwegian airports. The new ACAMS concept proved it self well in operation at ATC and AFIS TWR’s around in Norway. The company ACAMS AS was therefore founded based on an initiative to bring this now proven good concept out to the international civil and military airports. The founders of ACAMS AS represents the engineering company Artech AS, and a group of engineers with comprehensive and complementary experience of system design, project management and marketing of systems to the field of world wide Airport and ATC industry. ACAMS AS represents a reliable and competent partner for our customers who are in need of a supplier of airport tower solutions ranging from basic single sub-systems to full-scale turnkey tower refurbishment or new tower programs.
