Global ATM and Airport Systems

3 - 4

SELEX Sistemi Integrati is an integrated supplier of the“Airport Global System”: from weather radar systems toATC radars, from airport-ground manoeuvres to smooth airtraffic management, the company offers a completeproduct and service portfolio by proposing itself as theideal technological partner for turnkey solutions.

SELEX Sistemi Integrati has an established customerbase in over 150 countries.

SELEX Sistemi Integrati provides total Air TrafficManagement (ATM) capability from En-Route/Approach toSurface Management systems, Gate-to-Gate Surveillancewith their family of ATC Primary and Secondary radars,new generation CNS/ATM systems such as SatelliteNavigation Augmentation Systems, Automatic DependentSurveillance (ADS) and Controller Pilot Data LinkCommunications (CPDLC).

The Company also provides Navigation and Landing Aidsby SELEX Sistemi Integrati Inc. and Weather Radarsystems by SELEX Sistemi Integrati GmbH.

To cope with the forecast growth in air traffic, the veryphilosophy of control is changing with the introductionof new Communications, Navigation and Surveillance(CNS) techniques. Active control, flight by flight andsector by sector, will give way to enhanced Air TrafficManagement (ATM).

CNS/ATM is “the adaptation of modern technology toenhance communication links between aircraft and airtraffic controllers, improve pilot’s ability to navigate theaircraft and to increase air traffic controller’s capabilityand capacity to monitor and control flights”.

The introduction of CNS/ATM technology is a majorchange in operational requirements of Air TrafficManagement and SELEX Sistemi Integrati can helpmanage this transition.

SELEX Sistemi Integrati is meeting these requirementsthrough the Air Traffic Management and Airport SystemsBusiness Unit (ATMAS) and through the subsidiaries inUSA, Germany and UK:

• SELEX Sistemi Integrati Inc.• SELEX Sistemi Integrati GmbH• SELEX Sistemi Integrati Ltd.

SELEX Sistemi Integrati is also full participant inEuropean Union, ECAC and Eurocontrol researchprogrammes, helping define the systems and standardsof the future.

SELEX Sistemi Integrati provides world-wide CNS/ATMexpertise in every domain: SELEX Sistemi Integrati’scapability is total.

Total Air Traffic Management

A complete Air Traffic Control facility package with anycombination of radars, displays, processors and data communications can be assembled into an advancedtelematic system for military or civil air traffic controlapplication, from the en-route to the airport managementenvironment. Ground Control Approach systems,Weather Radar, Navaids, GNSS/ADS, A-SMGCS andCommunication Systems can be integrated into differentfunctional architectures.

Global ATM and Airport Systems

SELEX Sistemi Integrati’s SATCAS 2000 ATC and ATMcentres use distributed processing to ensure faulttolerance and system availability. Standard off-the-shelfpackages cover all system functions and can be tailoredto specific customer needs. Growth potential is also builtin and the architecture is open to other ATC/ATM servicesand to commercially available data processing andpresentation packages.

SELEX Sistemi Integrati has invested heavily in Human-Machine-Inter face (HMI) research. The result is theCDS-2000 controller working position, which can beintegrated readily into existing ATC centres as well asnew facilities. It features a flexible X-Windows-basedHMI that can be customised using either the SELEXSistemi Integrati Inter face Editor Toolset or other COTSproducts.

Airport turnkey solutions

The range of technical capabilities and products thatSELEX Sistemi Integrati can offer in the airportenvironment to help dealing with increasing trafficdemand, ensuring safe and expeditious flow, security ofpeople and goods and exchange of information amongairport operators, are very broad and have beendescribed in the previous paragraphs.

SELEX Sistemi Integrati, by acting as prime contractorand system architect, can help removing the burden ofmultiple procurements from our customers by providingcomplete and integrated turnkey solution for airportcovering the complete set of civil works, including airportbuildings, runway and taxiway layout as demonstrated inseveral occasions around the world.

Gate-to-Gate Surveillance

The SELEX Sistemi Integrati family of radars covers everyrequirement for primary and secondary surveillance of en-route and terminal airspace. All are fully compliant withthe latest ICAO standards and recommendations and aredesigned for remote monitoring and reconfiguration.Primary radars can be equipped with either conventionalreflector or high-performance planar array antennas. Theyinclude the S-band ATCR-33 S radar for TMA and approachcontrol and the L-band ATCR-44 S radar for long-range en-route control.Secondary radars include the conventional SIR-M and theMode-S enhanced SIR-S radars. All are configured withlarge vertical aperture antennas to provide maximumtarget information in high-density areas. The SIR-S is fullycompliant with Eurocontrol POEMS standards and usescustom VLSI chips for improved performance.

SELEX Sistemi Integrati has also pioneered the developmentof Automatic Dependent Surveillance (ADS), the techniqueintended to supplement radar surveillance in both broadcast(ADS-B) and contract (ADS-C) applications.

SELEX Sistemi Integrati delivered the world’s first ADSsystem to be fully integrated with ATC functions in theBangkok ATC Centre and, extending on the FARAWAYprogrammes, the Company is using ADS-B to investigatethe feasibility of “Free Flight” within the Mediterraneanarea through the MFF (Mediterranean Free Flight) andMEDUP (MEDiterranean UPgrade) programmes.On ground too, SELEX Sistemi Integrati is automating thesurveillance function. The advanced surface movementguidance and control system (A-SMGCS) will enhancesafety, reduce delays and improve the overall efficiency ofairports operation.

Aeronautical Communications

SELEX Sistemi Integrati is a major contributor in changingthe way Aeronautical Communication is performed in theaviation industry, developing enhancements for existingcommunication products and investing in new CNS/ATMtechnologies to meet ever demanding user requirements.

Continuous growth in air traffic and costs incurred by airtraffic users and service providers when upgrading ATCcentres with new communication systems havecontrasting effects on the pace of migration from voicecommunication to data communication. The use of data communication instead of voice will helpto relieve some ground lines and frequency congestion,whilst also decreasing operator workload and increasingsafety.

Global ATM and Airport Systems

The first significant step in this direction has been themigration from voice messages towards data link usingACARS protocol, now used by a sizeable proportion ofairlines world-wide for Airlines Operational Communication(AOC) applications.

The use of ACARS for Air Traffic Services (ATS) applications isalso gaining momentum. The ground fixed networks (AFTN)are being upgraded to implement CIDIN (Common ICAO DataInterchange Network) ground-ground applications.

The Air-Ground data Communication scenario is muchmore diversified. Different networks will connect theaircraft avionics to the ground systems. Varioustechnologies and types of links have been identified byICAO and will coexist using the VHF frequency (ACARS,VDL 2, VDL 3,VDL 4), radar L-band (Mode S) and SatelliteL/C/Ka Bands (AMSS). Links using broad bandtechnologies will be available in the near future.SELEX Sistemi Integrati is active in:• AFTN/CIDIN systems• ATM Communication Gateway (ACG)• VDL Mode 4 networks• VDL Mode 2 network• Mode S Data Link Sub-Networks• Aeronautical Mobile Satellite Service (AMSS)• Satellite Based ADS and CPDLC
