NATS Upgrading Its Radar Control and Monitoring System
A new control and monitoring system, supplied by COMSOFT, has become operational at
the NATS radar site in Debden, U.K. as part of the RSS (radar support system)
upgrade program the British ATSP (air traffic service provider) started in 2004.
NATS ERCAMS (en route control and monitoring system) provides a means by which all
the radars can be controlled and monitored centrally, without having the need to
man the individual radar stations; it's functioning at more than 20 radar sites
and seven control centers throughout the U.K. Its replacement, ERCAMS II will
be installed at all major radar sites within the next four years. Both the old
and new systems are supplied by COMSOFT.
ERCAMS II, which is based on COMSOFT's
CMS/XA new generation architecture, has an integrated architecture covering
on-site data acquisition technology, remote communications, as well as
centrally-based processing and visualization. 09-01-2007. |
