2005, as Italian private owned; It’s an ICT System House based in Rome, classified as
SME according to the European Commission classification (2003/361/EC).
Company’s
mission aims to design and propose to the proper market sectors, innovative applications
and services based on ICT technologies and Satellite Navigation, EO & Communication
assets. NAIS core competencies on Space & Defence market’s domain plays a strategic
role in the development of innovative application by enabling technologies. Passing
through R&D Projects, product industrialization and commercialization, NAIS completing
in this way the whole Technology Transfer Process.
Over time several innovative applications and services have been developed and
now available in the field of Smart-mobility (solution for both citizens and tourists
transportation support and information), Emergency (mission management and
resource planning), Cultural Heritage (safeguard, fruition and prevention), Maritime
(search & rescue, mission management and access to harbour and docks), Defence
(air defence systems radar), and Aeronautics (Air Traffic Management system 2D & 3D
and flight information systems of General Aviation aircraft). Based on the following ICT
knowledge:
• Satellite technologies (Navigation (EGNOS/GALILEO), Communication, and Earth
Observation);
• Innovative HMI techniques based on Virtual and Augmented Reality techniques
(e.g.applied to the development of non-conventional radar displays for the future Air
Traffic Control);
• Engineering and architectural aspects (e.g. Enterprise Architecture, Model Driven
Engineering, SOA, RAMs analysis) applied to the development of complex safety
criticalsystems (e.g. next generation ATM systems).
NAIS was involved and in someone still running, in National & European R&D project
and programs, such as in the ATM sector: SESAR (Single European Sky ATM Research),
eATMS (new ATM Italian program) S2BAS (Small airport & small aircraft flight information
services) and RAID (RPAS & ATM Integration Demonstration). In ESA-ARTES20 IAP
program; IRIS ANTARES on the SATCOMM domain, SIMONA on Maritime situation
awareness and in ASI co-financed project such as: WHERE in the Earth Observation/
GMES technologies on Cultural Heritage domain and AIRONE on Aeronautic Meteo
services. Some others on Transport, Maritime and Cultural Heritage areas of European
Frame Programme, such as: Meduse (FP7), Enhanced Wisetrip (FP7), ITACA (FP7).
