C-STCA
The Short Term Conflict Alert C-STCA identify traffic situations that possibly lead to the violation of defined separation criteria between two aircrafts in a near future. This requires simultaneous assessment of horizontal and vertical manoeuvres of multiple aircraft as well as geometric properties of the potential conflict.
C-APW
The Area Proximity Warning C-APW protects aircraft from entering restricted airspaces. Entry to such airspaces may be sanctioned by the system for aircraft with specific mission codes. Featuring dynamic activation of restricted areas, C-APW supports the flexible use of airspace.
C-MSAW
The Minimum Safe Altitude Warning C-MSAW modules monitor the vertical separation of aircraft and terrain as well as obstacles. For this purpose, MSAW uses digital terrain
elevation data (DTED) as well as obstacles definitions. Providing an interface for meteorological data, C-MSAW automatically adjusts altitude information for QNH and temperature. An integrated Approach Path Monitor (APM) enables C-MSAW to be applied in approach units.
Safe Safety Nets
Safety Net Functions form a critical part of today’s ATC automation systems and contribute to the safety of air traffic. C-S/N comply to development standards for safety critical systems supporting an ESARR conformant implementation. C-S/N comply to ESARR 4 on system level and ESARR 6 for the software development, and substantially support an ESARR 3 compliant safety process.
Non Predictive Safety Nets
In addition to the predictive safety net functions, COMSOFT provides situational safety nets that monitor aircraft movements as to their adherence to given clearances. In conjunction with an automated FDPS system, Route Adherence Monitoring and Cleared Level Adherence Monitoring enable the ATCO to immediately detect any divergence from given clearances. |
