Skykraft and Airways partner to test space-based air traffic management service

8 March 2023, Canberra and Auckland – Skykraft and Airways New Zealand will work together to develop Skykraft’s space-based air traffic management service in one of the world’s largest airspace regions. 

Skykraft, a space services company based in Canberra, Australia, will use its satellite constellation to gather data on aircraft movements and then test it against the data held by Airways, which manages 30 million square kilometres of airspace over New Zealand, the South Pacific and Southern Oceans and the Tasman Sea.  

Skykraft is developing a space-based, global service combining an air traffic surveillance system and a Very High Frequency (VHF) radio communication system, which would extend the reach of VHF to areas that are covered by older technologies. Skykraft’s five satellites were launched successfully by SpaceX from Florida, United States in January 2023, and further launches are scheduled for mid-2023 and early 2024. 

Skykraft’s Chairman, Air Vice-Marshal (Ret’d) Mark Skidmore, says the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding brings together two companies who want to advance air traffic control technology in remote and oceanic regions.  

“The Memorandum of Understanding allows us to work with Airways New Zealand, a world-leader in air traffic management, on a proof-of-concept demonstration of Skykraft’s world-first combination of space-based air traffic surveillance and VHF radio communications,” says Air Vice-Marshal Skidmore. 

“It’s a great opportunity for an Australian space company and New Zealand’s air navigation service provider to use new technology to make flying across the Pacific and the Tasman even safer and more efficient.” 

Airways New Zealand’s General Manager Air Traffic Services, Katie Wilkinson, welcomes a collaboration that will help drive the evolution of the next generation of air traffic management services.  

“We look forward to contributing our experience managing one of the largest airspace regions in the world, and to exploring how we can integrate space-based air traffic management with our existing infrastructure,” says Ms Wilkinson. 

“Skykraft’s satellite-based VHF radio communication system will be a key element in the proof-of-concept process and has the potential to create a step change for aviation.”

From multi-monitor workplace to adaptable solution

KVM systems have long been well-established in the IT infrastructures of ATC control room applications. Whether tower, remote tower or air traffic control center – G&D’s KVM equipment enables flexible IT access, comprehensive redundancy concepts, fail-safety, and increase cyber security. KVM systems extend and distribute computer signals, thus allowing the remote operation of computers without any latency and at best video quality. The computers can still be accessed in real-time from control rooms, air traffic control centers or remote towers. It is hard to imagine mission-critical sectors such as airspace surveillance without KVM. Here, G&D systems optimize the IT infrastructure and create ideal working conditions for both ATCOs and technicians. KVM also covers an aspect that’s especially relevant at times like these: It enables the physical separation of teams, but facilitates the collaboration between individual team members while also supporting multiple-shift models.

With their new multiviewing-tool, G&D also respond to the trend towards integrated consoles in ATC control rooms. Using a separate monitor for each process is now a thing of the past. The PersonalWorkplace-Controller makes it possible to easily display, arrange and operate multiple video signals on just one large monitor or multiple displays. This gives ATCOs the option of individually configuring their workspace with different computer sources. The modified arrangements, which can be saved and called up as layouts, create optimized and adaptable controller working positions.

In addition to getting a clearly arranged overview of all processes on just one monitor, operators also have simultaneous integrated and flexible access to all the data they need. Displaying multiple computer sources in real time on one large monitor, and thus providing latency-free operation of multiple computers from a single console, facilitates work in towers, digital towers or ATC rooms. In addition, the high image quality and unlimited flexibility in arranging sources provide great added value. This allows active work areas and monitoring areas to be ergonomically set up on larger screens. 

Digital towers with systems from G&D

Since digitizing towers is on the rise, the KVM experts also offer solutions fitting these critical applications. Redundancy concepts for the computers providing the live images from the surveillance cameras, for example, can be mapped with a matrix switch. If one computer fails, the switch connects to the second, redundant computer without interrupting the controller’s work.

Virtual sources via streaming protocol

In addition to displaying physical sources, the PersonalWorkplace-Controller can also be utilized for showing virtual content in hybrid structures. Images, texts or videos are displayed via streaming protocols. Apart from physical outputs, there is also the option of streaming the content. Now content from video walls or personal workspaces can be accessed on different output devices, such as a laptop, smartphone or tablet.

The PersonalWorkplace-Controller can be seamlessly implemented into existing G&D systems. Both the interfaces to G&D matrix systems and the operation via select menu or CrossDisplay-Switching are compatible.

EIZO Releases First-in-World First Lightweight 2K x 2K Primary Control Monitor with VESA 100 x 100 Compliance and Smart Technologies

EIZO (TSE: 6737) today announced the Raptor SQ2826 – a lightweight 28.1-inch primary control monitor with 2K x 2K (2048 x 2048) resolution for air traffic control (ATC). It is the successor model to the Raptor SQ2825.

The Raptor SQ2826 is the world’s first 2K x 2K primary control monitor whose weight of just 9.2 kg, approximately 37% lighter than its predecessor, ensures it complies with 100 x 100 mm VESA mounting standards. This means that it can be reliably mounted to VESA supported arms and fixtures without needing an adapter or additional brackets, simplifying installation requirements. It is EIZO’s 6th generation 2K x 2K primary control monitor and boasts the thinnest bezels of the lineup at just 15.5 mm, which is less than half that of the previous model for a sleek and compact design.

The Raptor SQ2826 is equipped with EIZO’s new smart technologies for streamlining installation and operation. It is the industry’s first primary control monitor to feature truly built-in image capture at the glass. Using the monitor’s video signal output, all displayed image content, including the monitor’s OSD menu operations, is accurately streamed to a second 2K x 2K signal compatible monitor via DVI. The monitor can also output the signal through EIZO’s Re/Vue encoding & streaming device and SafeGuard data capture & content management solution to enable remote live viewing or to record to the server for a fully integrated ATC visual system.

In mission-critical ATC where every second counts ATCOs (air traffic control officers) need to be aware of any disruption to the images they see on the screen. EIZO’s unique Last Frame Display function can detect if the video signal is disrupted and automatically displays the last available frame captured from the visual system accompanied by a text overlay to inform the ATCO of the status. This ensures the ATCO is immediately made aware of the disruption so appropriate action can be taken, such as following emergency protocols or accessing backup systems, while providing the last available visual information to refer to until the issue is addressed.

The monitor can be equipped with EIZO’s SwitchLink internal switching management technology as an option. This enables seamless switching of keyboard and mouse without the need for an external KVM switch. Up to six workstations can be connected to the monitor and operated using a single keyboard and mouse.

As with its predecessors, the Raptor SQ2826 is equipped with a direct backlight system, which offers superior brightness uniformity compared to edge-type solutions. This ensures consistency in the way images are displayed and allows the LED cells to operate with higher efficiency, lowering overall power consumption and heat generation over the course of the monitor’s life. Furthermore, EIZO’s fully automated stability function uses an internal backlight sensor to stabilize the brightness level throughout the life of the monitor, compensating for fluctuations cause by variations in ambient temperature and the passage of time.
 

Additional Features

• 24/7 operation
• Industrial-grade, lightweight aluminum housing
• Desktop, VESA, chassis, and panel mount variations
• Built-in power supply with secondary power supply as an option
• Noiseless, fanless operation
• Optional protection glass
• Remote OSD settings control over the network

Visitors to the Airspace World 2023 exhibition in Geneva, Switzerland can see a live demo of the product at EIZO’s booth G14 from March 8-10.
