ATM

ATM System

The ATM System supports Air Traffic Control operations for En-route (ACC), Approach (APP) and Tower (TWR).
- Full functionalities in conformity with Single European Sky (SES) regulation.
- The ATM System is designed and proven to be flexible and configurable for any size of ATC and easily expandable in size and functionality.
- It is redundant and fault tolerant, life-cycle cost effective and highly adaptable.

SESAR ATM Functionality Compliance. In line with Single European Sky (SES) Interoperability (IOP) Regulations EC 550/2004, 552/2004, 1070/2009 and 716/2014, to prepare European ATM system for network operations, the ATM System is compliant with the SESAR functionality of the Pilot Common Project (PCP), which shall be in operation throughout European airspace by 2025.

Flight Plan Data Management. Flight Data Assistants (FDA) have an efficient HMI to support editing, browsing, queue handling with support for complex search criteria.

Controller functions. The ATM System supports ACC, APP and TWR operations. The Controller HMI is window driven and suitable for one or two monitor configurations. Controller interaction with flights is performed through labels and electronic strips. The HMI is specially designed for a paperless environment. Only required data is presented. Additional information is very easy to retrieve.

Consoles and Displays
- The future of consoles. The consoles are the ultimate solution for the next control rooms. From enhanced monitor mounting options to ergonomic nosing and frame design, They enable optimal efficiency for ATCO operators..
- Unmatched Agility. From full cabinet enclosures to fully open concept, the consoles can accommodate local or remote CPUs with ease. And with the modular design can be configured individually, in rows, clusters or collaborative groups. Customers can choose from two, three and four-leg options providing complete design freedom to optimize the available space.
- Optimized Performance Design freedom available when considering the work surface needs. Options of single or dual surfaces, two lift column systems ranging from a load capacity of 1200N up to 2500N per lift column, assure the best value-based performance on the market. The console system can manage even the most rigorous monitor array requirements based on the power of integrated large screen displays.
- Superior Cable Management. The cable management system enablies the ATCO to work in a clutter-free space. It utilizes a wider and deeper technology bridge to run more cables in a completely organized manner and full front and rear access makes adding or changing cabling quick and easy
- Fit and Finish Options. The consoles meet any performance and design aesthetic requirements. With a wide choice of fit and finishes available the consoles provide the freedom to optimize the space. The choices are like high pressure laminate, compact laminate, stainless steel, solid surface, glass, and engineered stone.
- Personalized Controls. Adding personalized controls like temperature and situational awareness provides the ATCO with the ultimate working conditions.
