Saab’s Technology Makes London City 空气port First Major UK Operator of Remote 空气 Traffic Control Tower
Technology pioneered by Saab Digital 空气 Traffic Solutions has enabled London City 空气port to become the first major international airport in the world to be fully controlled by a remote digital air traffic control tower.
Saab’s Digital Tower is a next-generation air traffic control system that significantly improve controllers’ situational awareness, enabling quick and informed decisions that advance safety and operational efficiency. The Digital Tower has also allowed London City 空气port to expand its area of operations due to the increased coverage it provides, thereby allowing the airport to maximise its air traffic capacity.
The technology presents increased levels of information to air traffic controllers on digital window screens: such as identifying flight and radar data, 放大和缩小的能力, as well as additional graphics and augmentation to enhance visibility. These functionalities can be used by control rooms that are offsite.
在伦敦城, sixteen high-definition cameras and sensors mounted on the mast capture a 360-degree view of the airfield. This is relayed through a high-speed fibre connection to a new control room in NATS’ air traffic control centre, 85英里外的斯旺威克, 汉普郡. A dedicated team of controllers use the live footage, 来自机场的音频信号, and radar readings to instruct aircraft movements in and out of the airport.
马格努斯Lewis-Olsson, Chairman and President of Saab UK, commented: “This is an important milestone for Saab in the implementation of remote air traffic solutions at major civil aerospace hubs with dense traffic in a complex airspace. We look forward to seeing the technology take off at London City 空气port, giving controllers new tools and safety features which demonstrate the benefits Digital Towers can bring.”
艾莉森·菲茨杰拉德, chief operating officer at London City 空气port, added: “We are immensely proud to become the first major international airport to operate this pioneering technology from Saab. This investment in smart infrastructure will help us meet future growth in passenger demand, improve air traffic management and give us future capability as the aviation industry bounces back from the pandemic.”
The Digital Tower is a flexible and scalable solution for a broad range of use cases, 民用和军用, and has already been successfully implemented at airports in Sweden, UK, 荷兰, 德国和美国, while also being selected by the Royal Navy for their naval air stations in the 联合王国.
