Airports / ATM

The features of Kinetic Avionic's receiver range make them ideally suited for a wide range of Airport/ATM uses. These features include:

  • Rack Mounting
  • Ethernet connections
  • High processing power
  • Reliability
  • Dual redundancy (optional)
  • High quality build components

The SBS-2 is housed in a 19-inch unit with touch-screen, keyboard and mouse that can be connected to a host system via Ethernet. It provides a range of possible outputs that can be processed by Obelix, the accompanying display software that provides real-time virtual radar capabilities.

The SBS-2 Runway Lighting Controller (SBS-2RLC) is also available.

The SBS-2M is a Multilateration system that consists of at least 4 SBS-2M receivers and a Target Processing unit. Multilateration allows you to triangulate on the position of any Mode-A/C/S aircraft. The SBS-2M system also receives all ADS-B aircraft. The combined data stream (ASTERIX CAT20/21/22/23 and "raw" data") is designed for use in OEM software applications. The SBS-2M options also feature a 1030MHz Interrogator with variable power settings. The SBS-2M is ideal for non-radar airfields and large inhospitable areas or as a backup system for SSR and provides cost-effective situational awareness.

Vehicle based transponders
Kinetic Avionic Products Limited are currently testing vehicle-based transponders with a variable power output between 10-20W. These are designed for advanced surface movement operations, prevention of runway incursions and more efficient airfield management. Each unit is provided with a moving map display and intelligent software.

The many benefits that Kinetic's receivers and transponders provide for Airports/ATM include:

  • Airports ADS-B Ground Station
  • ATC Tower Displays
  • Airport Operations Management
  • Airlines Fleet Identification and tracking
  • Airline Operations analysis
  • Improved Airfield Safety
  • Improved economic efficiency

Safety

  • Improved effectiveness of collision avoidance systems
  • Improved safety in ATM and provision of ATS
  • Improvements to ATC safety nets
  • Potential to improve emergency response by ATC
  • Improved SSR RF environment
  • Potential to improve detection and management of airspace infringements
  • Improved data for Search and Rescue

    • Economic

  • Improved efficiency in provision of ATS
  • Improved management of ATS workload
  • Potential for more efficient and flexible use of airspace
  • Potential for reduces operational delays
  • Continued or improved access to airspace
  • Potential for improved commercial passenger services
  • Potential for reduced insurance premiums
  • Improved implementation of future technology
  • Improved aircraft surveillance for defence and security

    • With traditional radar installations being beyond the financial reach of many small and medium sized airfields, Kinetic's range of receivers and transponders provide visibility and improved safety for aircraft and vehicles within the airport's ATM area.
