Flight control software package

Description

The Air Navigation Service Provider in Denmark, Naviair, wants to procure and put into operation a Visual Spectrum Video Camera Based Remote Tower System including a Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) Camera solution and Approach Control Functionality for initially Billund airport (EKBI) with several options to enlarge the system. The air navigation service provider in Denmark, Naviair, wants to procure and put into operation a technologically mature and operationally proven Visual Spectrum Video Camera Based Remote Tower System including a Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) Camera Solution and approach control functionality. Naviair furthermore wants to procure a hot spot camera solution and an environmental sound solution. Naviair finally wants to procure engineering services directly related to the above mentioned system/solution procurements. The systems and solutions procured by Naviair shall provide Naviair personnel with a visual spectrum overview of remotely located airports and their surrounding areas in order for Naviairs air traffic controllers to provide air traffic control and aerodrome flight information services at the remotely located airports (i.e. airports were the air traffic controllers don’t have a direct visual spectrum overview like from a traditional control tower). By technologically mature and operationally proven Naviair means a visual spectrum video camera based remote tower system including a Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) camera solution approved by a civil aviation authority, successfully put into operation by an air navigation service provider and subsequently in continuous operational service for at least 3 months. The system shall be able to handle a mixed VFR/IFR traffic environment without relying on the availability of a ground radar system/data at the airports or the availability of radar transponders in the VFR flights. It is expected that the Visual spectrum video camera based remote tower system including the Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) camera solution and approach control functionality complies with common requirements, standards and guidance material as described in Eurocontrol SAM, EASA guidance material on remote aerodrome air traffic services, EUROCAE ED-109/ED-153 as well as relevant parts of ICAO annex 10 and ICAO doc. 4444. The system(s) should also fulfil all requirements in EUROCAE ED-240A minimum aviation system performance standard for remote tower optical systems. The system for initially Billund airport (EKBI) is to be established in existing building facilities at Billund Airport (airside). The system should be scalable up to a total of 10 airports. It will be a requirement that Naviair shall have access to day time technical support (Monday-Friday 8:30-15:30 CET). Options are described in Section II.2.11. Note: secondary/primary radar and/or ground radar/A-SMGCS is not a part of this tender.
