Sydney Airport to Use Sensis Wide Area Multilateration Airservices Australia has selected Sensis Corporation's WAM (wide area multilateration) for terminal airspace surveillance and precision approach monitoring at Sydney. Sensis' WAM uses multiple sensors, leveraging the company's MDS (multilateration surveillance technology), to triangulate aircraft positions based on their transponder signals. It can provide 360 degree surveillance out to 60 nautical miles from the airport, with a one-second update rate, which is good enough to monitor parallel runway approach paths, Sensis says, so it also will replace the existing E-scan precision runway monitor. Conventional radar coverage has suffered from obstructions from commercial development around the airport and the adjacent Port Botany container terminal, which WAM is expected to resolve as well. Airservices is deploying Sensis products for multiple air traffic surveillance applications throughout Australia. Sensis WAM will provide air traffic surveillance across Tasmania while Sensis A-SMGCS (advanced - surface movement guidance and control systems) is being deployed at the airports of Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney. 10-31-2007. |
