Sector: Defence
Duration of Project: since 2007 (currently maintenance in operational conditions)
Challenge: Modernise the long-range maritime patrol aircraft, replacing the existing equipment with
an avionics suite permitting operation in air spaces subject to ICAO regulations.
Our client is faced with a double challenge: to prove its know-how to a return customer and its
competence to a new certifying organisation, this programme being the first certification before the
C130 and ATR certifications (similar projects).
Akka Solution: from knowledge acquired on earlier aeronautical projects, AKKA provided its know-
how on DSDL management functionalities, Flight Plan management, Feedback and TCAS.
Result Thanks to its reactivity and the commitment of its teams (up to 20 persons, 2*8, 3*8,
Saturdays), AKKA enabled its client to ensure "ready for first flight" delivery in 15 months instead of
the usual 2 to 3 years, making this programme the fastest to deliver an "airworthy" version.

AKKA Solution : Carry out system studies (specification, architecture, choice of
equipment). Carry out software development (study, detailed specification, design and
realisation of software, functional and documentation tests). Provide technical support for
the software (guarantee, Maintenance in Operational Conditions and training of users).
Result: The AKKA is the only one to have a technical and functional command of the
product and advises ALSTOM on its developmental changes, e.g. to include graphical
supervision of the line. In addition to Beijing, the offer is now slated for Milan, Sao

Challenge: Develop a Web 2.0 product unique in the market, capable of real-time monitoring of the
weather situation over the whole French road and motorway network.
AKKA Solution: AKKA Technologies realised the entire OPTIMA WEB product in Open Source
technologies: definition and implementation of the Web 2.0 Internet application architecture,
integration of the Geographic Information System (GIS) solution, development of the client module
in PHP and forecasting algorithms in java/JEE, integration of the product in the operating platform
of the Météo France extranets.
Result:
Météo France offers a new, added value service for clients such as road network managers, GPS
manufacturers, drivers etc.
With OPTIMA, Météo France has the possibility of real-time qualification of weather forecasts,
kilometre by kilometre, for the coming 60 minutes on the French road and motorway network. The
current coverage of this tool is 120,000 km of road
In collaboration with the Météo France teams, AKKA Technologies designed a flexible and expandable
system. Furthermore, our client is considering extending the OPTIMA service to other networks,
such as the French rail network or the electricity networks.
