With Dfs, a network administrator can build a hierarchical file system that spans the organization's LANs and for the Paperless Strip System (PSS See EPSS. ) project. Concurrent iHawk deliveries will total over 2 million $US. The iHawk ATC systems were selected for their high-performance features and customized design that addressed the strict requirements of DFS. The iHawk ATC systems are specifically designed by Concurrent to meet the needs of the air traffic control industry. This iHawk industry solution will be used by DFS as servers and clients driving large-scale computer touch screens at air traffic controller working positions. The PSS project is a major step for DFS in an effort to provide the most innovative flight plan data handling system for air traffic controllers worldwide. PSS will allow air traffic controllers to replace the paper strips that hold data for all handled flights with a large-scale computer screen that displays virtual strips containing the same layout and information. A 21-inch interactive pen display allows the controllers to directly write information on the virtual strips on the screen with a pen in a manner similar to the current operating procedure. In contrast to the current time-consuming manual system, complete flight information will be directly available to all other air traffic control subsystems including the Flight Data Processing data processing or information processing, operations (e.g., handling, merging, sorting, and computing) performed upon data in accordance with strictly defined procedures, such as recording and summarizing the financial transactions of a Systems. Electronic strips can also be transferred to other controller positions without having to carry them physically. After an extensive review and selection process, Concurrent was chosen as the preferred supplier due to the company's ability to comply with all aspects of the strict commercial requirements and detailed technical specifications. Prior to this project, Concurrent had delivered almost five hundred iHawk systems for other projects at DFS. "We are excited to further our partnership with DFS. This project represents a major win for us." said Warren Neuburger, COO of Concurrent. "Our high-performance iHawk systems will continue to assist in the vital role of insuring airspace safety at German air traffic control centers".
