Tern Systems and Isavia ANS have been collaborating closely for almost 30 years now, developing ATM systems. The newest and most ambitious product being developed is the POLARIS ATM system. The Polaris ICE team is made up of members from both companies and is responsible for developing the feature set that will enable Isavia ANS to manage air traffic over the North Atlantic ocean in the future.
It is time to introduce the second team member, Una Árnadóttir.

When asked about her role within the Polaris ICE team, Una answers: "My role in the Polaris team is mostly focused on the flight data display and other data related subjects. We are currently working on updating the flight data display and redesigning the FDP. My previous role as a flight data specailist provided me with general knowledge of flight related data, FPL‘s AIS, FDP, Mil, etc. I also keep my coworkers on edge.“

We asked Una about his professional experience and she replied: “ I have been with Isavia ANS since 2018, beginning my career as a flight data specialist in the Reykjavik Area Control Center. Since then I have had different hats, trained new students, participated in implementation projects and contributed to various improvement initiatives for our companies benefit.
I studied anthropology part time at the University of Iceland and am now delving into studies that better reflect my interest for the aviation industry. The studies revolve around management within the aviation sector, ethical behaviour, cultural awareness, and the ability to adapt in a fast-changing global environment.“

“Outside of work, I primarily spend time with my family, especially my young daughter. I enjoy traveling and exploring the world, locally and globally. In my free moments, I enjoy knitting as a creative and relaxing escape.”
