SUCCESSFUL INTEGRATION OF SBS-2 WITH PILOT ARTAS RADAR PLATFORM

(This press release is also available in PDF format)

Kinetic Avionic Products Limited is pleased to announce the successful integration trial of its SBS-2 Receiver with a pilot ARTAS unit at Skyguide.

SkyGuide, the Swiss air traffic services provider in Geneva, is commissioned by the Swiss government to manage and monitor all air traffic in the country's airspace - one of the most complex in Europe - and to ensure safe flight operations.

The ARTAS units at Skyguide are designed to establish an accurate Air Situation Picture of all traffic over a well-defined geographical area and to distribute the relevant surveillance information to a community of user systems. The ARTAS units currently process target reports from multiple radar sources to form a consolidated picture of the Air Traffic situation within a given area.

The technological trial is being conducted on an ARTAS V7 platform which is designed to interface with ADS-B ground stations to receive and decode ADS-B target reports and integrate them into the core tracking environment. Using the SBS-2 Skyguide is able to cheaply, reliably and efficiently prove this feed against several traditional radar sources and correlate this data together.

The SBS-2 is a self contained Mode-S receiver and processor housed in a 19" rack-mounted chassis with touch-screen display, keyboard and mouse. The technology features include Mode-S and ADS-B processing, RF monitoring, on-board analytics and connects via an Ethernet feed. The Ethernet feed provides multiple accesses to ASTERIX CAT 21 data streams in both V0.20 and V0.26 versions.

The SBS-2 fulfils the needs of a wide range of users such as airport operators, airlines, flying schools, avionics manufacturers, military, government and police organisations, air traffic managers, educational establishments, and research organisations. Possible roles include use as an ADS-B ground station, fleet identification and tracking, cross-country navigation management, passive air traffic surveillance, detection of transponder malfunctions and anomalies, as well as a huge number of specialist/bespoke functions. The SBS-2 is ideal for integration into OEM applications.

David Goodman, Chief Executive of Kinetic is encouraged by this recent success, "I would like to congratulate my team and the team at Skyguide for both their vision and execution. This trial was accomplished by Skyguide in its willingness to examine best novelties on the ATM market as part of its ongoing "technological survey" activities. The SBS-2 continues to demonstrate the company's capability and that avionics can be made affordable whilst still offering a quality solution. I expect that other ATC providers will follow the example taken by Skyguide and utilise the benefits of ADS-B to complete the air traffic picture."
