Established in April 2010, UK MAA is a defence aviation safety authority, recognised for its risk-based safety focus.

The authority’s approvals division maintains and manages a range of approval schemes, along with technical and operational activities for both individual and organisational purposes.

According to the AAOS, Saab can now produce, supply and install ATM equipment for the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) customers under the Regulatory Article (RA) 1027.

The RA 1027 states that ATM equipment organisations contracted by the UK MoD should receive approval from MAA and comply with its regulatory publications.

The article further demonstrates the responsibilities of ATM equipment organisations contracted by the UK MoD.

According to Saab, the AAOS approval comes after working with the UK MMA for a year.

Furthermore, the company also received approval from Civil Aviation Authority in 2018.

The company’s digital air traffic solutions have also achieved ISO certifications 9001, 14001 and 27001.
