Immediately, uAvionix declares its FlightLine ADS-B surveillance and situational consciousness system has been chosen by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as a certified product for Air Site visitors Management (ATC) use for lowering the chance of runway incursions at U.S. airports. FlightLine is an economical answer that can be utilized in an Air Site visitors Management Tower (ATCT) setting to offer wanted floor situational consciousness to amenities with out present floor surveillance methods (at the moment solely 44 airports). FlightLine tower deployment can be performed below procurement from the FAA however can be procured immediately by airports or Federal Contract Towers. The primary FlightLine deployments by uAvionix have been procured by the FAA for Indianapolis Worldwide Airport (KIND) and Austin-Bergstrom Worldwide Airport (KAUS) towers. The methods can be totally operational by June 30, 2024.
uAvionix and its FlightLine system have been certified by the FAA’s Floor Consciousness Initiative (SAI) program. Based on the SAI Strategic Plan:
“In 2021, an Operational Wants Evaluation (ONA) was performed that recognized the necessity for elevated floor situational consciousness at airports which at the moment should not geared up with floor surveillance gear to cut back runway incursions. The FAA has recognized over 230 airports which are potential candidates for an SAI answer. The ONA resulted within the identification of the primary 45 candidate airports.
SAI will ship revolutionary, cost-effective technological options to airports with out present floor surveillance capabilities to increase Air Site visitors Management’s (ATC) floor situational consciousness. SAI options will leverage Automated Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B) as a major supply of plane place each on the floor and in airport arrival and departure corridors. These ‘targets’ can be displayed overtop an airport floor map that can at a minimal depict runways, taxiways, maintain ramps, and different motion areas.”
The uAvionix FlightLine answer for the SAI program is tailored from its FlightLine Surveillance Information Service Supplier (SDSP) platform, a non-public, validated, dual-frequency ADS-B community. The validated ADS-B community supplies the power to defend towards ADS-B spoofing utilizing multilateration as affirmation that the transmission supply matches the information throughout the ADS-B message. In contrast to crowd-sourced ADS-B networks, FlightLine is architected particularly to cross a security case evaluation, partly by lively monitoring of the person sensors and repair volumes.
“This can be a clear instance of how business’s innovation to carry new entrants into the airspace has resulted in near-term alternatives to reinforce security for conventional aviation,“ mentioned Jon Damush, uAvionix CEO. “Our workforce consists of business consultants from ATC and plane surveillance methods, so when the FAA put out the decision for quickly deployable and scalable options – we knew we had an answer that might assist.”
Information from the FlightLine system could be built-in into present airport administration instruments to maximise the profit to airport operators. As part of its scope for the SAI program, uAvionix together with its small enterprise companion Capital Sciences, LLC will deploy and handle the turnkey service, present coaching, sustainment, and improve companies for every airport.
