Operational scenario:

e-TWR FDPS comes with a high level of modularity in terms of integration with fully developed Techno Sky ATCO HMIs, WSFDP - Workstation FDP, e-CWP
- Controller Working Position, TWR EFPS - TWR Electronic Flight Progress Strips. It can be enhanced with the e-AWOS Suite to provide airport meteorological information to ATCOs and pilots (e.g. QNH, Wind, etc.).Meteorological data can be integrated, by placing them onto an embedded window into e-CWP and EFPS to increase the situational awareness during the operations in normal and severe weather conditions

Key benefits:

• Fully integrated with Techno Sky e-AWOS SUITE to:
» Increase the situational awareness in
normal and severe weather conditions
» Meteorological data embedded into CWP and EFPS
• Technical Supervisor Monitoring available:
• Maintenance tool e-MAPS SUITE fully developed by Techno Sky included to:
» Produce/Upgrade maps with graphic elements (e.g. Taxi-Route, Parking Stands, IHP/RHP,TMA, Airspace Boundaries)
» Generate ATC geography for e-TWR FDPS following EUROCONTROL AIRAC Amendments
• Third-Party Products easily supported thanks to EUROCONTROL ADEXP and FMTP standard
• Interface to Airport Ground Lights Suppliers thanks to XML

Main technical features and overview:

The suite comes with a minimum set of ATC tools:
• TWR FDPS (Tower – Flight Data Processing Systems);
• WSFDP (Workstation FDP)
• CORLM (Correlation Manager)
• SGTW (Surveillance Gateway)
• TWR e-CWP (TWR ENAV Controller Working Position)
• TWR EFPS (TWR Electronic Flight Progress Strips e-TWR FDPS is the core system in charge of the elaboration and processing of flight data used by the ATCOs for
• Departure, Arrival and Local Flight Plans Planning
• (IFR/VFR Rules, Route Decoding)
• SID/STAR Procedures
• Airport Runways Scenario
• 4D Trajectory Prediction and Progress Update (Estimated/Actual Times calculation)
• DCT Free Routes currently available in Italian Air Space
• IFPL/ICHG/IDLA elaboration, CTOT calculation on SAM/SRM Messages
• ATC Clearance and ATC ground-based operations

WSFDP - Workstation FDP is based on a longlasting study dedicated to well arrange flights’ lists into a monitor of whatever resolution according to users’ HMI requirements. Layout, Colors, Fonts, Size, ATC Menu, Toolbars and Warning Functions, related to any flight data changes relevant to the ATCO operations, can be adapted on user’s needs. Paper-strip printing is provided on request and when automatic events occur. Lists can be adapted in size and dimensions, order criteria of flights in
each list are configurable.

e-CWP – enav Controller Working Position is designed to interface the SGTW – Surveillance Gateway in order to provide a radar presentation of air traffic tower on the ground and in the air. Significant Flight Data received from TWR FDPS (e.g. ARCID, ADEP, ADES, Wake turbulence) are represented on Radar Tracks that are interpreted from an ASTERIX radar flow. Radar Labels can be configured on one or two lines and they are geographically shown on overlapping layers of maps to identify aircraft tags in the local Area of Responsibility. Flights can be also shown in a list placed into the e-CWP combined with a radar display. Data shown on radar labels are immediately accessible to the ATCO through mouse clicking, shortcuts to customized orders and functions can be properly configured on labels to make the operations can have its ATC role with dedicated functions.seamless. Each e-CWP

TWR EFPS - TWR Electronic Flight Progress

Strips provides ATCO, for each role, with a realistic electronic representation of the paper-strips board. Its goal is to speed-up the operational flow of the strips by following the movement of the aircraft across its taxiing route before the takeoff and after landing clearance. Strips can be transferred between different roles. Colors can be modified, Panels and Bays arrangement are configurable and resizable according to airport runways scenario. All data shown on the HMIs depend on ATCOs’ role and on the information they need to be aware of for the ATC operations. Geographical data on each map, airports configuration and Aeronautical Information used by TWR SUITE are compliant with UE and ICAO rules. e-MAPS SUITE is included in the TWR SUITE package, it’s an Integrated Aeronautical Package of tools able to produce geographical information. Maps are exported in standard SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format. Additional functions are provided to add graphical elements like Taxi- Route, Parking Stands, IHP/RHP, TMA, Airspace Boundaries, Points and Routes in the airspace. Each HMI is the result of many years of expertise and a strict collaboration with the Italian Air Navigation Service Provider (ENAV). All our HMIs are highly configurable.
