First Digital Tower in the 联合王国 Goes Live
The first operational digital tower in the 联合王国 has today been inaugurated by Cranfield University at their Bedfordshire airport with a system from Saab Digital 空气 Traffic Solutions (SDATS).
This latest innovation in the UK’s aviation sector has been designed and delivered by Saab Digital 空气 Traffic Solutions (SDATS), and is owned and operated by Cranfield University. The system consists of a sensor mast and a manned operations room at the airport, which will manage the air traffic in and out of the airfield.
“The Digital 空气 Traffic Control Centre is a significant boost for Cranfield’s global research airport and the research capabilities of the University. Combined with our existing and future facilities, it will cement Cranfield’s place as the home of the leading aerospace and aviation research, at the heart of the Cambridge-Milton Keynes-Oxford growth arc,彼得·葛莱森教授说, Vice-Chancellor and Chief Executive of Cranfield University.
“This is a historic moment for air travel in the 联合王国 and shows the future of the UK’s aviation sector lies in leading edge technology combined with operational expertise. Saab and Cranfield University started on this journey in October 2017, and have enjoyed an excellent working relationship that has resulted in today’s success. We look forward to welcoming more UK airports onboard as users of this innovative technology as well as to the research benefits that this facility will contribute to the marketplace,约翰·克林特伯格说, 亚洲体育博彩平台数字航空服务公司首席执行官.
Digital towers are a breakthrough within air traffic management and were pioneered in Sweden in 2015. 数据的数字化, 这要归功于亚洲体育博彩平台领先市场的技术, can enable significantly higher operational efficiency, 更低的运营成本, and advanced safety and decision support systems. Installing a Digital Tower is often more economical than building or refurbishing a conventional air traffic control tower.
A digital tower replaces the conventional control tower with a camera mast to capture the out-the-tower-window view and transmitting it to a manned digital tower centre in another location. Digital towers are designed to be resilient and comply with cyber security best practices.
Cranfield’s global research airport offers a unique environment for transformational research into the aerospace sector. As one of the few universities in the world with its own airport, they are at the forefront of aerospace technology, working to address the challenges of digital aviation and rethink the airports, 航空公司, airspace management and aircraft of the future.
Saab Digital 空气 Traffic Solutions is a joint-venture between Saab and LFV (the Swedish air navigation service provider), 成立于2016年. By combining LFV's unique operational experience with Saab's world-class technical solutions, Saab Digital 空气 Traffic Solutions is able to manage the entire process from planning and implementation to the administration of remote tower services. SDATS offers airports in Sweden and abroad a digital alternative for purchasing air traffic control services, thereby creating better financial conditions for airport operations.
