Air Traffic Management systems – ATM

SiATM is your provider of air traffic management systems. The key products have functionality that complies with the requirements on ‘very advanced systems’, as defined by ICAO and Eurocontrol.

SiATM offers solutions that meet and exceed the ‘very advanced systems’ criteria as defined by ICAO and Eurocontrol.

 

Our portfolio includes state-of-the-art ATM systems designed for en-route, approach, and tower control operations, ensuring comprehensive coverage and reliability for air traffic control environments.

 

In addition to our core ATM systems, SiATM offers an array of Combined Radar and Tower Simulators. These simulators are engineered for both advanced and basic training, providing a realistic and immersive experience for air traffic controllers.

 

Recognizing the critical need for robust fallback options, SiATM has developed a suite of ATC fallback systems. These systems are designed to ensure the safe clearance of skies or to maintain operations at reduced or full capacity under any circumstances.

 

Si AMAN, our advanced arrival management system, can function as an integrated or standalone solution. It is designed to complement and enhance the capabilities of existing systems, offering seamless integration and added operational efficiency.

 

The development of our air traffic control systems has been a continuous process over the last 30 years, primarily within the scope of various projects. This long-term commitment to innovation and improvement underscores our dedication to the field of air traffic management.

ATM System

SiATMS is an ATM System that supports Air Traffic Control operations for En-route (ACC), Approach (APP) and Tower (TWR).

It was first launched for operational use in 1999 and has been incrementally upgraded with functionality in conformity with Single European Sky (SES) regulation.

The ATM System is designed and proven to be flexible and configurable for any size of ATC systems and easily expandable in size and functionality. Furthermore, it is redundant and fault tolerant, life-cycle cost effective and highly adaptable.

SESAR ATM Functionality Compliance

In line with Single European Sky (SES) Interoperability (IOP) Regulations EC 550/2004, 552/2004, 1070/2009 and 716/2014, to prepare European ATM system for network operations, SiATM has achieved compliance with the SESAR functionality of the Pilot Common Project (PCP), which shall be in operation throughout European airspace by 2025.

Flight Plan Data Management

Flight Data Assistants (FDA) have an efficient HMI to support editing, browsing, queue handling with support for complex search criteria.

Controller functions

The SiATMS supports ACC, APP and TWR operations. The Controller HMI is window driven and suitable for one or two monitor configurations. Controller interaction with flights is performed through labels and electronic strips. The HMI is specially designed for a paperless environment. Only required data is presented. Additional information is easy to retrieve, “a mouse-click away”.

ATC fallback systems

Si ATM’s concept for ATC Fallback Systems (FBS) has been designed and developed together with users, to safely clear the sky or to operate with a reduced or full capacity while the main system is out of service.

The main purpose of a Fallback System is to provide ATCOs with automatic support in case of sudden unexpected failure of main system, planned switch-off of main system for shorter periods and unavailability of main system for longer periods.

To meet the objectives, the Fallback System shall comply with a number of specific requirements and run continuously, in parallel with, but independent of the main system.

ATC Fallback Systems installations

The Si ATM FBS solution has so far been developed and delivered to three customers, viz.

    • New Hong Kong ATM system, referred to as UFS
    • Croatian ATM systems (ARES) in Zagreb, Pula, Zadar, Split and Dubrovnik
    • Serbia and Montenegro (FASOS) in Belgrade and Podgorica

The installations differ considerably regarding scope and functionality.
For all, though, the controller HMI has been adapted to be highly alike the HMI of their respective main systems, which is a prerequisite for smooth transition from one system to the other.

Arrival manager – AMAN

The Si Arrival Manager (AMAN) is an integrated component of the Si ATMSys product, but it can also be provided as stand-alone arrival management system complementary to, or integrated with, other systems.

The Si Arrival Manager was first launched in 2011 and is continuously upgraded with new functionality as defined and requested by the ATM community. Si AMAN meets the SESAR ATM functionality requirements for extended arrival management.

 

The main objectives of the implementation of AMAN, are to reduce overall controller workload, minimize delay in high traffic situations, support continuous descent approach and improve operational safety, efficiency and predictability.

Arrival Manager tasks and operators

The Si Arrival Manager (AMAN) is an automated application that supports planning and implementation of an optimized arrival sequence for en-route and approach air traffic controllers. Furthermore, AMAN provides a plan for runway use set by tower controllers, which can be used as input to mixed mode runway planning and take off sequences, or as demand input for gate and stand planning by the airport.

 

The Si Arrival Manager determines the demand of the runway(s) and determines the optimized sequence for each runway based on the airspace configuration, actual location and 4D-trajectory or flight plan of each aircraft. Once the sequence plan is known, advisories are presented to the controllers to execute the sequence plan.

Radar and Tower Simulator – CSim

The combined radar simulator and airport tower simulator, CSim, supports an integrated and realistic training environment for en-route, approach and tower controllers.

There are several benefits to using the radar and tower simulator. Apart from low cost and a high-quality training facility, the simulator could also be used as redundant emergency system (see also the product FBS).

 

The radar simulator and airport tower simulator contains five main segments:

  • Simulator segment
  • Visualization segment
  • Operational segment
  • Voice communication segment
  • Recording and playback segment

Simulator adaptation

The CSim airport tower simulator and radar simulator uses system parameters for adaptation and tuning to its environment. This includes airport and airspace structures as well as the behaviour of aircraft and vehicles. This approach makes it possible for customers to create and maintain several completely different ATM environments/airspaces, referred as sessions.

 

CSim allows to simultaneously run exercises in separate sessions, e.g. radar training in one airspace and tower/approach training in another.

 

Parts of airport and airspace definitions can be created automatically from AIXM data.

 

To learn more about the radar and tower simulator, CSim, you can download the brochure or contact us for further information.

Departure manager – DMAN

The Si Departure Manager (DMAN) is an integrated component of the Si ATMSys product, but it can also be provided as stand-alone arrival management system complementary to, or integrated with, other systems.

The Si DMAN meets the SESAR ATM functionality requirements for DMAN systems.

 

The main objectives of the implementation of AMAN, are to reduce overall controller workload, minimize delay in high traffic situations, support continuous descent approach and improve operational safety, efficiency and predictability.

Departure Manager tasks and operators

The DMAN system is an automated application that supports planning and implementation of optimised departure sequences for Tower and Ground Controllers. DMAN can be fully integrated with airport A-CDM and A-SMGCS systems, allowing the sharing of information such as Target Take-off Time (TTOT), calculated Target Startup Approval Times (TSAT), Actual Off-Block Times (AOBT), DPI messages etc.


DMAN determines the demand of the runway(s) and calculates the optimized sequence for each runway based on the airspace configuration, current location and flight plan of each aircraft. Arrival flights are considered within the departure sequence, and DMAN can be easily integrated with an Arrival Manager (AMAN), ensuring seamless interaction between the two systems.
