1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 GENERAL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The AirCon 2100 System is based on a standard product developed by Indra. As an option if it is

requested, the operational system is supplemented with an autonomous simulator addressed to

controllers for training purposes and to allow the analysis of new operational procedures.

AirCon 2100 represents the last product generation and its architecture is based on the experience

gained in the development of open systems for the displaying and processing of radar data and flight

plans, found on numerous systems installed in Spain (SACTA System), Canada, Germany, Norway,

Holland and India. One of the main characteristics of the system is its availability, due to the employment

of redundant elements on a distributed scenario, and to the use of tested and highly reliable commercial

equipment.

The software architecture of the system is determined by its modularity and distribution and has been

organized using distributed discrete processes for the different subsystems. At the same time, the system

makes use of communication by messages, both for intercommunications between tasks and for its

synchronicity. In order to reassure a maximum level of maintenance, communications and application

tasks have been isolated.

The Operating System used is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.7, which is easily found in the software market,

included its standard TCP/IP communications protocols.

AirCon 2100 includes all the necessary functionality required in a modern ATC system.

Its main elements are:

Local Area Network (LAN). A redundant category 5 with a 1 Gigabyte bandwidth capacity LAN is employed and, as a consequence, futures updates of the system can be easily implemented making use of standard communications protocols.

Radar Communications Processor (RDCU). It centralises and channels radar communications in order to manage this information by the SDP, both for Main Mode and Alternative Mode (Bypass). The RDCU is duplicated (Operative/Reserve) and its switching can be performed manually and automatically.

Surveillance Data Processor (SDP). This processor employs duplicate CISC computers and receives the data (primary, secondary and meteorological) processed by the RDCU. Next, it performs the merge of all this information and, finally, sends it to the controllers (SDDs) for a coherent display of the airspace picture.

Safety Nets (SNET): it carries out surveillance duties (STCA, MSAW, RAW) and achieves the integration between radar data and flight plans in order to get a precise tracking.

Situation Data Display (SDD). It employs powerful workstations that receive data processed both by the SDP, FDP and by the SNET. Later on, it manages all these information for a coherent displaying at the controllers screens (SDD). At the same time, it displays additional relevant information such as geographic maps, meteorological data, etc.

(GTI-UM)





Date: 09/07/2012

Flight Data Processor (FDP). This processor employs redundant CISC computers and performs the management of flight plans. These flight plans can be generated by the system or can arrive from external resources where Repetitive Flight Plans (RPLs) are also included. In addition, it validates information flight inputs, computes the evolution of flights and keeps controllers informed by means of showing information on screens. It also performs MTCD duties.

Flight Data Display (FDD). They are the FDPs interface and display information concerning flight plans. Controllers can use them to perform adjustments on flight plans and on other significant data. They incorporate printers used to produce flight plans lists, AFTN and OLDI messages, NOTAMs, etc.

Supervisor (CMD). It makes possible a continuous real time supervision of the system and allows the configuration management of its main elements.

Data Recording Facilities (DRF). It employs redundant CISC computers and performs a continual recording of landing data, flight plans and controller actions for further reproduction and analysis. It makes use of magnetic tapes.

DataBase Management (DBM). It provides the necessary facilities for the creation and modification of Adaptation DataBase and locates the system in its geographical environment to achieve the required efficiency.

Data Link Server (DLS): it provides support for Logon, CPDLC dialogue , and ADS-C services, and provides a communications path between the ATCS and the aircraft using these services.

Simulator (SIM). (OPTIONAL). It provides to controllers an operational replica of the real scenario for training purposes. It is a exercise simulator system and allows the use of several exercises, simultaneously and independently. It allows the analysis of new operational procedures as well as the management and maintenance of the full set of sessions and exercises recorded in the Simulation Library. It allows the creation of new exercises, the selection of training scenarios and a complete set of interactive capacities in order to provide full control and management.

Instructor Pilot Position (PILOT TSS). This position is in charge of:

Selecting exercises, sessions, etc.

Managing flights in real time.

Exercise manager (ATG/EPP). From this unit simulation exercises are managed.

2. STARTING THE APPLICATION

This graphic tool is designed to configure SDD colours, track labels and tabulars, in order to adapt the

SDD appearance to controller needs.

The GTI (Graphic Tool Interface) can handle several separate configuration sets. Every configuration set

is identified by a three digit number (zero right padded) and a user added intuitive description.

Every possible action: edit, install, copy or delete; is done in the selected configuration set. Click on the

selected configuration set, a pull-down menu appears, offering a new configuration set selection.

At the beginning, the selection of a saved configuration from the available ones is required.

Figure 2: Example of the configuration set menu

(GTI-UM)





Date: 09/07/2012

2.1 HANDLING THE APPLICATION

The way and rules to manage, access, input, remove or restore information by means of menus, icons

and buttons have been planned looking for a very intuitive approach, very similar to commercial software,

this is why operators will become familiar with it after a few minutes of operation.

Next paragraphs offer the essential information to handle the application.

Common steps to open all the available windows from the function icons are:

Click with the LB on the corresponding icon to access to the option referred to it.

To go back to the previous window, without saving changes, there are three procedures:

o Click with CB at any point on the main GTI window.

o Press key.

o Click with LB on [CANCEL] icon.

To save current changes, it is required to click with LB on [SAVE] icon; else changes performed wont be saved and will not apply.

5.2.4.2 Internal and Boundary Points Management

Internal and boundary points can be added, edited or deleted.

This management is performed by editing the static file Aplicacion.sdd, included in folder

/local/project_id/gti/exec/versiones_SEI/instalables

In this file, the description for sector generation and combinations are the following:

nLinSec: number of sector lines and sector combinations with its fixpoints.

tiposec#.secpun: line of fixpoints. # represents a number between 1 and nLinSec, and the number of this type of lines is the nLinSec value. The format of those lines is:

Sector line: misc.tiposec#.secpun : ST : FI1 FI2 ... : FF1 FF2 ...

Combination sectors line: misc.tiposec#.secpun : S1 S2 ... : FI1 FI2 ... : FF1 FF2 ...

Where:

ST is the name of the sector (two alphanumeric characters).

S1 S2 are the name of the sectors (two alphanumeric characters). The sectors combination must be defined in the same order as defined in DBM (and displayed in CMD when they are sectorized) for their recognition by SDD.

FI1 FI2 are internal fixpoints; fixpoints that are in a sector (or a sectors combination). It is limited to a maximum of 7 points and must be ordered from west to east geographical direction.

FF1 FF2 are the boundary fixpoints; fixpoints that are in the boundary of a sector (or a sectors combination). It is limited to a maximum of 30 points and must be ordered from west to east geographical direction.
