• Inverness Airport: Radar Display System
In 2006, Barco was contracted by Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (HIAL) to
provide a COTS ATC display system for Inverness Airport. Barco integrated its OPScenter
components into the Inverness ATM system, which is connected to a primary and
a secondary radar. Barco's display system includes plot extraction from raw primary
video, the integration of a multi-sensor tracker for tracking of primary and secondary
plots, Safety Net as well as recording & playback functionality.
• Belgocontrol: Radar Fallback System
Barco provided the OPScenter display component to Belgocontrol to be used as an
independent radar fallback system. This integration was one of the most important
updates of the new system architecture for the technical upgrade of Belgocontrol's
CANAC center. The system includes Multi-Track correlation, Callsign association,
integrated recording & playback, System Monitoring, Control & Failover (SMCF), radar
data distributrion, as well as sector management.
• EADS: Approach Control for German Air Force
Barco provided radar data processing and display components for the Airport
Surveillance Radar System (ASR-E) of the German Air Force. Among other functions,
Barco added electronic fl ight strips to the ASR-E system, which offer operators a swift
and user-friendly overview of the fl ight plan status. Barco paid special attention to
maintainability, advanced self-testing capabilities and modular design.
