AviBit's second A-SMGCS installation for Deutsche Flugsicherung (DFS) now operational at Hamburg Airport

June 10, 2010

AviBit Air Traffic Solutions announces today the successful implementation of the second ACEMAX® (A-SMGCS) installation for Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH (DFS) in Germany. After passing all acceptance tests, the system is in operational use since April 2010 and integrates information from four surveillance systems at Hamburg International Airport. The new system will be the key instrument for ground surveillance at all weather conditions, while reducing costs and improving safety for ground operation.
AviBit has been awarded the main contract for this project which included the AviBit Data Fusion, HMI, Recording and Replay and the delivery of a Surface Movement Radar from TERMA. The scope of the project covered system integration and data fusion of an ERA-Multilateration system, a TERMA SMR, an (existing) RACAL SMR and the existing SSR. "The data fusion was one of the main challenges of this project, as the surveillance systems uses different surveillance technologies", says Alexander Wemmer, Project Manager at AviBit. "But employing an efficient program management, the Data Fusion could be implemented successfully."

"The successful implementation of the ACEMAX® system for DFS at Hamburg International Airport, demonstrates the capabilities of AviBit in realizing large scale integration projects", said Dr. Konrad Köck, CEO of AviBit. "We are very proud of our strong technical team, which was the key to our success. This gives us the confidence, that our focus on system integration is an important step towards further growth of AviBit".
