Americom Government Services said it was awarded a five-year contract from the United States, Caribbean States/Territories and Central American Organization of Air Navigation Services that are coordinated by the regional office for the North American, Central American and Caribbean Office of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to provide a satellite-based telecommunications network to support the MEVA II project. The network will close existing coverage gaps and provide aeronautical ground-ground digital communications between regional air traffic control centers. ICAO is an agency created by the United Nations in 1944 to promote the safe and orderly development of international civil aviation, and works closely with the Federal Aviation Administration in the United States. The MEVA II project will allow for the integration of air controller voice and data traffic and will greatly enhance the “hands-off” of flights from air controller to air controller.
