Uganda pulled together aviation nerds from across Africa for a workshop on SWIM and FF-ICE tech at a hotel in Entebbe, and the whole thing is about getting digital systems to talk to each other better. ICAO and CANSO organized the event, while UCAA Deputy Director General Olive Birungi Lumonya talked up how Uganda already implemented some modules for sharing flight data and weather info.
The gathering runs for three days and covers air traffic management, meteorology, and navigation systems. Lumonya said the tech only works when countries cooperate regionally instead of going solo, and she wants delegates swapping knowledge to speed things up across the continent.
The workshop drops recommendations for African countries trying to modernize their air navigation services and prep for trajectory-based operations.
