Air Traffic Management
In the Air Traffic Management (ATM) field, SELEX Systems
Integration offers a wide range of technical solutions and products to ensure the safe, fast and efficient
flow of air traffic, the security of people and goods, and the
highly effective exchange of information between operators.
Over the past decade, the air traffic sector has experienced
some major challenges, in particular the continuing threat of
terrorism, climate change (and requirement to reduce aircraft
emissions), fluctuating oil prices, and the start-up and decline of
many low-cost airlines. In addition, the current economic climate
means that passenger numbers have decreased significantly,
requiring air navigation service suppliers to reduce their
operating costs.
SELEX Systems Integration, as a prime contractor and systems
integrator, provides complete and integrated turnkey solutions for
airports, comprising civil works, buildings, taking off and taxiing
runways.
Through its parent company SELEX Sistemi Integrati, SELEX
Systems Integration offers complete systems for Communication,
Navigation, Surveillance and Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM), by
integrating state-of-the-art Air Traffic Management (ATM)
systems for Air Traffic Control
(ATC) Centres and using the latest technologies in satellite
navigation and communications.
A full ATC package, with any combination of radars, displays,
processors and data communications, can be assembled in advanced
telematic systems for civil and military applications, from
en-route maneuvers to thorough airport management. Approach
systems, weather radars, Navaids, Global
Navigation Satellite System/Automatic Dependent Surveillance
(GNSS/ADS), Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System
(A-SMGCS), and communication systems can be integrated into
different functional architectures.
SELEX Sistemi Integrati's SATCAS 2000 and ATM centres use
information distributed processing to minimise failures and
ensure full system availability. Open architecture
and standard off-the-shelf packages cover all system functions
and can be tailored to customers' needs. SELEX Systems Integration
and SELEX Sistemi Integrati invest heavily on research to
enhance Human-Machine-Interface (HMI). For example, the
CDS-2000 air traffic controller workstation can be integrated into
existing ATC centres or placed in a new location. The HMI
interface is flexible, X-Windows-based, and can be tailored through
SELEX Sistemi Integrati's "editor interface toolset" or other
commercial off-the-shelf(COTS) products.
