AeroTrac
Telephonics' AeroTrac® Air Traffic Management System (ATMS) is an advanced en route and terminal automation system that features unparalleled radar capacity, tracking accuracy and flight information processing. Telephonics' AeroTrac has been proven in large scale Air Traffic Control (ATC) systems by tracking over 3,000 aircraft, simultaneously processing over thirty radar sensors and covering over nine million square miles of airspace.

AeroTrac provides precision tracking - especially for diverse configurations of multiple radars from various manufacturers, formats and scan rates. The AeroTrac system includes:

• Multi-radar Fusion Tracking (MRT)
• Flight Data Processing (FDP)
• Advanced Display Systems
• Simulation and Training.

AeroTrac II is fully scalable in capacity and control sectors and may be applied to a wide range of uses:

• Enroute Control
• Approach/Tower Control
• Area Surveillance. The sector controllers are presented with a uniform, real-time, integrated airspace picture regardless of the level of radar coverage. AeroTrac utilizes all available target sensing and reporting systems, including:
• Primary Surveillance Radar
• Secondary Surveillance Radar
• ADS/GPS
• Flight Plans.

The system provides automatic correlation between the flight data and radar data. AeroTrac incorporates redundant processors and fail-safe backup modes. The ATMS is modular in design so that new and enhanced features can be added to meet changing requirements throughout the system life cycle. All applications operate under COTS multitasking operating systems using an enhanced human-machine interface with graphical displays that incorporate Eurocontrol recommendations. AeroTrac II configurations are available to include:

• 2048 x 2048 Color LCD Displays
• Conflict Alert, Restricted Area Warning and Minimum Safe Altitude Warning
• Data Recording Systems
• Control and Monitoring Systems (CMS)
• Training/Simulation Systems
• Integration to Existing Surface MET Systems

The open system architecture may be scaled to suit the ATC application, from a small single sensor airport to a large area, multiradar control center. The AeroTrac II system may be hosted on a variety of UNIX operating system-based workstations, including Sun, HP, Intel and others.

The AeroTrac II system's modular design allows the system to be configured to suit any customer's operational requirements. The system may be configured in networked autonomous workstations or a distributed architecture.
