At the DFS Systems House
With around 230 employees, our Systems House provides all software-based products and systems for DFS. We design, plan and develop our own products, while also integrating products from other manufacturers. Our applications support our air traffic controllers in their work every single day, from staff scheduling to the systems that display all the relevant data of radar targets. Our air traffic control products are also used successfully outside DFS by many national and international air navigation service providers.
