Key people at CENA: Centre d'Etudes de la Navigation Aérienne.
CENA: Centre d'Etudes de la Navigation Aérienne was a France-based public research organization focused on developing the national air traffic control system, known as CAUTRA, through advanced studies and experiments in air navigation. The entity served the French aviation sector by conducting traffic analysis around major airports and working closely with government bodies such as the Directorate General for Civil Aviation (DGAC) and the Directorate of Air Navigation Services (DSNA). Between 1985 and 2007, the center co-led European research and development efforts in air traffic management alongside Eurocontrol. Operating under a government-funded model, the organization developed specialized aviation programs, including the MAESTRO system introduced in 1989, while its internal structure was formalized by a 2003 government decree. The organization was founded in 1959 by unknown founders, with early leadership provided by Jacques Villiers.
