December 11, 2007:
NAV Portugal - the Air Navigation Service Provider of Portugal
- has awarded a contract to AviBit to provide it's A-SMGCS system
for Lisbon Portela Airport. The AviBit delivery will include tracking,
data-fusion, recording & replay, safety logic, and monitoring
and control.
ACEMAX - the most suitable solution for Lisbon Airport
ACEMAX - the AviBit A-SMGCS COTS product - is the heart of the
delivery to NAV. It's open interfaces were one of the key facts
for NAV to select the AviBit product. Through these interfaces which
are based on ASTERIX / Eurocontrol standards, NAV will use its own
developed HMI for the controller working position. The AviBit delivery
will include all A-SMGCS level 2 functionality.
Because of the complex runway layout at Lisbon Airport, including
crossing runways, NAV Portugal puts a high emphasis on the safety
logic built into the AviBit system. This system will only require
proper configuration to cope with the demanding requirements.
Another major issue for this project is the HMI. While the AviBit
HMI is used for maintenance and replay purposes, NAV will use its
in-house operational display for the controller working positions.
All interfaces between the NAV HMI and the AviBit data fusion are
based on ASTERIX and XML formats.
The time-frame for the delivery of the system is quite short. Installation
and acceptance are planned for January 2008.
