ATRAK NEW
Press Release
The next edition of the Airspace World trade fair will be held in Lisbon, Portugal, from May 13 to 15. Airspace World continues the tradition of the World ATM Congress, which has been held regularly in Madrid, Spain in previous years. Companies belonging to the CSG Aerospace division of the Czechoslovak Group (CSG) – software companies CS SOFT, ATRAK and UPVISION and the radar technology manufacturer ELDIS will present their products and services at the trade fair.
Airspace World is currently the largest and most prestigious event in the field of air traffic control and management in the world. Therefore, among more than 200 exhibitors from more than 140 countries, some of the most important Czech companies in their fields, which are covered by the CSG group within the CSG Aerospace division, must not be missing.
ELDIS will present its entire range of new-generation active radars, on a scale model of a complete airport. These radars are included in the RPL-2000 set, which is designed to provide a complete solution in the field of air traffic control. The RPL-2000 radar set consists of new-generation software-defined radars – a primary surveillance radar, a monopulse secondary surveillance radar and a precision approach radar. This series of radars was designed and developed with the aim of increasing their capabilities and simplifying their use. ELDIS achieved this by reducing the number of unique hardware modules and moving functionalities to the computer elements of the system. This has reduced energy consumption and thus also reduced the requirements for backup power capacity. The set can be supplemented with the ERDIS air traffic control software system. The company will also present its primary 3D radar at the fair under the name RL-3000, a fully software-defined long-range radar that provides three-dimensional information for tracking non-cooperating air targets.
CS SOFT focuses mainly on products and solutions for air traffic control service providers and will present a number of them in Lisbon. Specifically, it will be the latest version of the ALS ATM system, the ATC simulator, the Pagoda solution for monitoring datalink traffic, the Traffic Complexity Manager, and the RadarView multi-purpose tool for situational awareness and air incident investigation. The improved modular flight data processing system ESUP-NG will be presented with a completely new architecture using the latest technologies and enabling the provision of independent services as well as their implementation in the cloud.
The software company ATRAK will present its products designed primarily for air traffic control at the fair. For example, it will be Aeronautical Billing (ATRAK-AB), which is a unique billing system for managing invoices and income from air traffic charges, or the Aeronautical Statistics (ATRAK-AS) system of operational and financial statistics. There will also be a modular solution for preparing, processing and displaying dynamic and static data for the needs of air traffic controllers Aeronautical Information Management (ATRAK-AIM), a system for regional towers called ATRAK-IDP TR8 with Remote Tower functionalities, or a surveillance system for border control Air Ground Analysis System (ATRAK-AGAS). The company will also present to experts a software solution in the field of UTM (Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Management), which is the result of cooperation between ATRAK, UPVISION and CS SOFT.
UPVISION will present its MES solution for supporting air traffic control using a distributed system infrastructure (Fog Computing), which brings a revolution in the efficiency, security and scalability of applications for supporting decisions in air traffic control. It enables critical air traffic control services to run securely directly at the point of data origin or access network instead of in the data centre. Reducing the latency from sensor to decision from seconds to milliseconds adds valuable time for integrating large volumes of data into control processes and managing crisis situations. Thanks to UPVISION's innovations, air traffic control service providers and ATM/UTM providers can now effectively manage the transition to a new model for providing air traffic control services.
