SASS-C (Surveillance Analysis Support System for ATC Centre) is a software suite for surveillance infrastructure analysis operated by ANSP’s, CAA’s and ATM industry, and maintained/developed by EUROCONTROL together with its industrial partners.
The required profile is a senior software developer with strong system and architectural expertise, responsible for the technical support, evolution, and long-term sustainability of the SASS-C surveillance system performance analysis tool. The role requires in-depth knowledge of advanced mathematical algorithms for surveillance data reconstruction and estimation, including filtering and state-estimation techniques (such as Kalman-based methods), which are core to the scientific validity and operational reliability of the system.
The scope of the services covers advanced activities across the full software lifecycle, including installation and configuration of the product, validation and acceptance of new software versions, scripting and advanced configuration, and contribution to the continuous improvement of system robustness, performance, and maintainability. Where appropriate, the consultant shall apply AI-assisted techniques to support software development, testing, validation, and analysis activities, in accordance with EUROCONTROL standards and practices, with the objective of improving efficiency and software quality while preserving the integrity of the underlying algorithms.
The consultant shall actively maintain, operate, and evolve the SASS-C platform deployed at EUROCONTROL, ensuring architectural coherence, algorithmic integrity, mathematical correctness, and compatibility with future developments, including the controlled adoption of AI-enabled approaches where relevant.
