Three Norway Airports to Use Barco's Arrival Management Software

Avinor, Norway's ANSP (air navigation service provider), has selected Barco's arrival management system for three airports in southeast Norway including Oslo's Gardermoen.

The action means that Barco's OSYRIS Arrival Manager will be integrated with the Norwegian air traffic control system, to more efficiently manage arriving air traffic within the Oslo AoR (area of responsibility).  Barco will also provide the safety case for the system to the Norwegian regulator.

Barco says its OSYRIS Arrival Manager is part of its OSYRIS COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) product suite that was designed from requirements developed by ANSP and industry research.  Because of its "excellent" portability and open interfaces, the OSYRIS Arrival Manager can be smoothly integrated with current ATC systems, Barco says.

For this project, the application software will be tailored to meet the specific operational requirements and procedures of Oslo's Gardermoen, including flexible runway allocation.

The system's graphical user interface will be built on Barco's ODS Toolbox, which Avinor has already used for implementing other operational display systems throughout Norway.

According to Barco, its Arrival Manager has become the arrival management application of choice for many ANSPs including Eurocontrol, Switzerland's Skyguide, the CAA of Singapore, and Nav Canada, as well as Raytheon and Lockheed Martin.  It forms the kernel of Skyguide's CALM (computer-assisted approach and landing management system), which went operational at Zurich's Kloten airport in March 2001, and recently at Singapore's Changi.  07-24-2007.
