EFFICIENT AIRPORT
The Saab integrated ATM and airport systems reflect
the well-proven Swedish safety and reliability standards.
They are built to suit all environments, from regional to
international airports, and can work stand-alone or as an
integrated ATM and airport system.

TOWER SOLUTIONS
INTEGRATED TOWER, I-TWR
To be able to meet the demands that today’s
increasing traffic flows place on air traffic
service operations, a large number of
systems are installed in the tower. Most
often the systems are delivered from
different suppliers and equipped with their
own displays and input devices, which
makes it difficult to work in a safe way.
The idea of the i-TWR (integrated tower)
is to gather the displayed information from
all kinds of systems at one single ergonomic
working position equipped with a
common digital display and inputs. The
i-TWR working position consists of one flat
screen equipped with mouse, keyboard and
touch screens as input devices.
A standard tower interface (STI) has been
developed to be able to communicate
reliably with systems that use
non-standardised interfaces. Example of
integrated systems for an i-TWR working
position are radar, flight plans, weather,
alarms, runway lighting, break down
alarms, approach lights, VDF, ILS, RVR and
ILS. One common supervisory system is
used for the surveillance of the integrated
systems.
4 5
TRANSPORTABLE TWR/APP
New hardware and software technology
has opened the possibility of integrating all
functions normally found in fixed
TWR/APP environments into a
transportable TWR/APP. The limited space
available in a transportable TWR/APP is
well suited for the I-TWR integrated ATC
tools.
REMOTELY OPERATED TOWER
With the Remotely Operated Tower,
conventional ATC services currently
provided from a tower located at the airport
are provided from a location which is
remote from the airport. This creates
benefits for the service providers who can
operate from a centralised location (Remote
Tower Centre – RTC) rather than from
a large number of geographically diverse
locations.
The Controller Working Position (CWP) in
ROT includes a 360° HD-video presenta-
tion. It provides the Air Traffic
Controller (ATCO) with situational
awareness of all surface movements at the
airport and aircraft on final approach or
departing together with information on the
present weather situation.
The use of the Remotely Operated Tower
does not compromise safety or have an
impact on service quality. The underlying
technical and operational concepts meet
the required standards of safety and
performance whilst realising the available
potential savings.
INTEGRATED ATM > CONTROL AND MONITORING SYSTEMS
CONTROL AND MONITORING SYSTEMS
CONTROL AND MONITORING
SYSTEM, CMS
CMS is a user-friendly network detective
that constantly monitors your connected
operating systems, provides detailed early
fault warnings and offers a complete
network overview from one workstation.
CMS provides a constant overview of your
network, its system processes, equipment
and individual units. It can save time and
money by improving faultfinding and
diagnosis and thus reducing downtime and
unnecessary maintenance to a minimum.
CMS can monitor everything from the
operating status of hard disks, the heat
generated by processors and network status
to individual software processes and system
loads.
REMOTE CONTROL AND
MONITORING SYSTEM, RCMS
RCMS is a remote control and monitoring
system that enables effective management
of complex electronic installations, such as
MSSR, PSR, VOR, DME, VHF, etc. RCMS
can use different types of interfaces to the
remote sites, such as leased or dialled-up
lines, TCP/IP, SNMP, Web-server, etc.
RCMS supplies real-time status from the
systems to the maintenance and operating
staff. The front-line fault-detection
capabilities increase the security and safety
of connected facilities and give early
warnings of system faults and disturbances.
Besides remote control of the connected
equipment, remote maintenance and
diagnostic tests can also be carried out.
Other RCMS benefits include an HTML
window for reading documents, dial-up
voice alarm, error and event logging, and
handover functions.
RCMS can be integrated with a CMS
(Control & Monitoring System) to provide
complete control and monitoring
capabilities from the individual computer at
the airport to the radar station miles away.
ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING
SYSTEM, EMS
EMS is an environmental monitoring tool
that registers, calculates and processes air
traffic noise and emission data at an airport
and its surroundings. In combination with
the environmental simulation tool the
system covers the whole spectrum of
environmental activities needed at a
modern airport.
EMS is designed to provide highly detailed
environmental data, allowing users to acti-
vely monitor and calculate several
environmental fields, such as emissions
(CO2, CO, NOx, and HC), movements,
noise recordings, noise calculations and
flight path analysis according to user-
defined parameters. The automatic flight
path analysis consists of tools for simula-
tion and investigation of restriction areas,
departure altitudes and route deviations.
EMS presents all data to the operator in a
user-friendly interface consisting of flight
track presentation in both 2D and 3D and
compiles user-defined reports for on-screen
presentation and printing.

FLIGHT DATA SYSTEMS
ELECTRONIC FLIGHT PROGRESS
STRIP SYSTEM, E-STRIP
The e-strip is a fully redundant electronic
flight progress strip system which provides
functionality to replace the paper flight
strips in a TWR/APP environment.
e-strip is a role-based system. It includes
advanced functionality to support the user
in an easy way when performing on-line
combining or splitting of roles. The system
interfaces external systems, e.g. for AFTN/
CFMU communication, integration of
digital clearance, display of DMAN and
AMAN data, exchange and transfer of
flight- plan data using OLDI, and automatic
stand allocation.
Automatic user support and a number of
safety nets are included to ensure safe
operations and minimise head-down time.
The e-strip can be integrated with the
A-SMGCS system to allow interaction of
the flight plan and radar data.
The system is very configurable in design,
so the layout and functionality can easily
be changed to suit a variety of different
customer requirements, from small to large
airports.

FLIGHT DATA PROCESSING, FDP
FDP is a flight planning tool that generates,
receives, updates, processes and distributes
flight plans and ATS and flight plan-related
messages in real time.
FDP can handle several functions in one
work-station, including automatic flight
plan retrieval and updating, format check-
ing of ATS-related messages and adjacent
weather data provision, thereby offering
improved control of the flight plan dis-
patch. Information is also communicated to
local and external networks, such as AFTN,
CFMU, IFPS, radar processing, etc.
FDP’s format checking of incoming and
out-going ATS-related messages speeds
up communications and reduces the risk
of human error. Automatic flight plan
updating means the latest information is
instantly available to all connected systems.
FLIGHT INFORMATION DISPLAY
SYSTEM, FIDS AND GATE INFORMATION
In A2 (Airport Administration) there are
functions for FIDS and Gate Information,
but these functions can also be used as
stand-alone functions.
The FIDS/Gate system has interfaces for
connection to external systems such as
flight plan systems, web servers, etc., to
receive and send flight information.
The system can be configured in a simple
way in order to select information relating
to check-in, gates, baggage, customs, etc.,
making it possible to use the same system
for several information services at an
airport.
Layout, colours, fonts, etc. can also be
configured by the airport system operator
for rapid and cost-effective adaptations
according to the needs of the airport.
INTEGRATED ATM > FLIGHT DATA SYSTEMS / AIRPORT ADMINISTRATION SYSTEMS
FLIGHT PLANNING CENTRE
SYSTEM, FDP
FDP (Flight Data Processing) is also
available in an adapted version for national
Flight Planning Centres, FPC, for the
planning and realisation of air travel both
nationally and internationally.
The FDP system is specially developed to
handle a large quantity of flight plans, from
several clients and servers with high
redundancy and availability.
Great importance has also been placed on
the design of the user interface in order to
achieve a secure and user-friendly interface
that eases and reduces the workload at peak
periods.
In FPC, FDP is connected to several
external systems for the collection and
distribution of briefing information to
FPC’s customers.
AFTN MESSAGE SWITCHING
FDP is available in different versions so that
it can operate as a normal AFTN centre or
with expanded customised functionality.
In the expanded version a central server
cluster is used and connected via a network
to an AFTN centre. The airports with
requirements for expanded services
connect via a separate network to the
message-switch server.
The ATS receives acknowledgements and
possible error messages for all ATS
messages that are sent and also receives the
status of the airports that are connected to
the network. This expanded version also
includes a central database that contains a
national aircraft register as well as handling
the storage and distribution of ATS
messages.
The connected airports use the aircraft
register to obtain information about weight,
engine types, etc., for the environmental
calculations that are carried out in EMS for
the individual airport. FDP uses redundant
servers (clusters), routers, firewalls, remote
control, etc., in order to achieve very high
availability and IT security.
AIRPORT
ADMINISTRATION
SYSTEMS
ADMINISTRATION AND BILLING, A2
A2 is a valuable airport administration tool
that offers increased control of many vital
airport functions, including aircraft
landing, parking statistics, and handling
fees as well as flight information display
systems.
A2 can streamline the administration at
your airport by bundling vital applications
into one cost-effective administration
package. The system facilitates efficient
airport management by offering central
administration of digital airport hand-
books, gate and flight information display
systems (FIDS) and invoicing for landing,
parking and handling services.
FIDS information can be distributed to
a Web server, providing up-to-date flight
information on the Internet. The staff can
access information regarding incoming
aircraft, such as stair requirements and the
location of water and fuel connections,
making ground handling more efficient.

vicinity. The A-SMGCS is built around
several of the i-acs modules and is inter-
faced to external systems such as AMAN,
DMAN, CDM NET, Gate System, Airport
Lighting, Radar, IR Sensors, ADS, etc.
The different data sources are processed
in real time and fused into a general view
or displayed in user-defined information
layers containing preferred data for routing,
guidance, surveillance and control.
The processed data can be distributed
to Airport and ATM stakeholders via a
network or data link to provide better situa-
tional awareness and support a high safety
level. The external cooperative
surveillance technologies such as Radar,
GNSS and Multilateration are combined in
a Data Fusion process and tracked in the
Multi Sensor Tracker.
The tracks are correlated with flight plan
data and displayed as definable symbols
with connected dynamic labels over map
layers. All targets are checked in the
safety-net database process for any alert
situation such as runway incursion, proba-
bility of collision, proximity to restricted
areas, etc.

MULTI SENSOR TRACKER, MST
Saab has long experience in developing
advanced MSTs and MRTs (Multi Radar
Trackers). Our MST is a high-performance
real-time multi-target tracker. Its scalable
stand-alone design is easily customised,
making the MST suitable for new state-of-
the-art systems as well as older systems in
need of an upgrade. The straightforward
design ensures effortless integration an
array of different types of surveillance
systems.
An easily understandable interface enables
the MST to accept and process
asynchronous measurements from any mix
of sensors of the following types:
• Primary radars (2D and 3D)
• Secondary radars (classic and
monopulse)
• Combined primary and secondary
radars
• Mode-S
• Satellite positioning
The data fusion is performed at plot level,
taking full advantage of the available sensor
data and making the MST a true multi-
sensor tracker. The MST can also receive
tracks either from sensors or from other
systems, making it possible to use the MST
as a tracker, a track correlator or both.
SHORT TERM CONFLICT ALERT, STCA
The high- performance and stand-alone
STCA uses innovative technology for early
detection of hazardous situations in
complex airspaces, whilst suppressing
nuisance alarms as far as possible.
When predicting an aircraft’s position, the
system takes into account the statistics of
prior air traffic in that region. The system
predicts the likelihood of a conflict for each
pair of aircraft in the airspace. It is possible
to set thresholds specific to individual
volumes within the total airspace.
These are a few examples of methods that
have been used to develop a very reliable
STCA, with proven performance in
operational use at international airports.
