RISE®
Radar Indoor System Elevator
The Techno Sky solution for reducing operational downtime of Long Range RADARs when replacing the antenna base bearing.

Operational Scenario:
RADARs are used for traffic control and require maintenance of electronic and mechanical components. A particularly critical operation is the replacement of the bearing located in the base of the antenna in the presence of a radome. Normally the bearing replacement operation requires the removal of the upper panels of the radome and the antenna by means of a mobile crane with an extendable arm. The RISE ® tool, entirely designed by Techno Sky, allows you to operate in total safety inside the radome without the need to remove the radome panels and without the use of external lifting systems.

Main technical features:
The tool is ready to use for long range RADAR model G-14 antennas, however adaptable to other antenna models. It consists of a kit of mechanical parts which, once disassembled, are stored inside crates whose dimensions allow the use of
conventional means of transport.
• Capacity: 5.800 Kg;
• Overall dimension: 5 m x 5,5 m.

Benefits:
The RISE® tool allows you to:
• increase the operational availability of the RADAR thanks to the drastic reduction of maintenance downtime compared to the use of conventional techniques;
• eliminate particularly dangerous processing phases;
• reduce the start-up times of activities even in the event of an emergency without the need for exceptional transport.
Certifications:
The tool is CE marked and complies with the directive of the European Parliament and of the Council 2006/42/EC of 17 May 2006

e-AWOS - ENAV Automatic Weather Observation System Admin Mar, 05/11/2021 - 14:33

Mission:
Meteorological information is a critical factor for air traffic control. Starting from this evidence, Techno Sky has developed a meteorological standard system, adopted by ENAV at all managed airports,designed in collaboration with meteorologists and Air Traffic Control experts, for a better managing of the meteorological data during air navigation operations (arrival/departure and approach flight phases).

Operational Scenario:
The e-AWOS system nowadays allows ATC operators to automate weather observation processes at over 45 airports.The e-AWOS collects and processes meteorological parameters from field sensors or external systems and allows operators to monitor real time weather data and compile accurate meteorological reports. Using innovative technologies, the Unmanned Mode plays a crucial role in the E-AWOS evolution towards a progressive automation of the main meteorological observation processes without human intervention, including the fully automated reporting of aeronautical bulletins.

Key benefits:
• Improvement of automated operational processes, allowing ATC operators to achieve efficient and safe operations
• Independence from sensor vendors and easy integration with existing third party systems
• Easy HMI customization according to users requirements
• Reliable and flexible solution, suitable to be upgraded according to the ICAO amendments or local operational needs Main technical features and overview:
e-AWOS provides the following features:
• Data acquisition and data validation, elaboration and quality check, according to all relevant

international standards
• Seamless monitoring of the weather conditions in MET observers, ATC operators and maintenance working positions
• Facilities to compile aeronautical, statistical and synoptic meteorological reports, including METAR
• Emission of manual and automatic meteorological reports to national networks via AFTN/AMHS
• Data dispatching to external peripheral systems and aviation users
• Historical Data storage and archive consultation of meteorological data and reports
• High system availability for 24/7 operations thanks to a full redundant architecture
• Field instruments and external equipment monitoring and alerting functions in case of failure

Client Presentation:
The TWR/APP client provides an innovative userfriendly HMI for ATCOs, ensuring the view of data useful for TWR and APP operations. It displays the overview of the airport meteorological condition, showing real time data from field sensors and local meteorological reports, and it allows other operations such as the activation of the low visibility procedures, the engage of the runways and the management of their operative status.
The MET client provides an overview of real time data from field sensors and external systems for airport Weather Observers by means of numerical and graphical representations. Depending on the desired level of automation, specific templates precompiled with automatic data, help users to transmit aeronautical and synoptical weather reports with fewer manual interactions up to complete unmanned operations. A historical archive for browsing and managing meteorological data is also available.
The MNT client provides alarms to local technical operators and allows to easily monitor and control the overall system status: connections between components, database, sensors health, etc, aiming at resolving any occurred failure.
A web-based TECSUP client is also available, as part of our SNMP nagios® based solution, designed for the remote supervision of single or multiple airports systems at a centralized location.

Interfaces:
• AFTN / AMHS (X.400 protocol), ensuring standardized weather data exchange
• Data acquisition from any type of source (digital or analog field sensors, EDAMS dataloggers or third party weather stations, lightning events detection systems or AGL systems, etc.)

Mission:
AI is reshaping meteorological information, increasing operational efficiency in real-time scenarios. In this context, Techno Sky has developed an innovative system that supports the chain of acquisition, elaboration and dispatching of meteorological data related to sky conditions.

Operational Scenario:
The CLODES® system provides clouds classification and the related coverage estimation. The analysis is carried out on 360° sky images periodically captured by day/night camera. The system is completely autonomous thanks to its A.I. algorithm specialized in automated evaluation of cloud gender and coverage. The interpretative model has been constantly improved through a learning process based on evaluation provided by Aeronautical Meteorological Observers.CLODES® is an essential building block as source for AWOS in order to achieve unmanned weather observation in airport environment.

Key benefits:
• Fully automated weather observation tasks: Aeronautical Meteorological Observers workload reduction that reduce human factor influence
• Compact form factor for flexible deployment in limited spaces or existing facilities
• Fully interoperable system thanks to its data collection, storage and distribution
• High accuracy in sky conditions evaluation

Main technical features and overview:
• Special clouds classes recognition: Towering cumulus, Cumulonimbus (CB, TCU)
