ATRAK-AISS
Aeronautical Information System Services
ATRAK-AISS® developed by LAIC, is a unique Air Traffic Control solution that provides a framework to bring together a combination of static, dynamic and repository based information, as well as the ability to quickly disseminate Information to Air Traffic Controllers. ATRAK AISS offers a cost-effective, comprehensive package, delivering outstanding value- for-money.
Background
Originally developed for Air Traffic Planning Controllers at the Air Navigation Services of the Czech Republic, ATRAK AISS has been operational since 2004, and continues to undergo a program of functional and technical enhancement. ATRAK-AISS was designed in close collaboration with Air Traffic Controllers to ensure that the HMI (human machine interface) fulfils their exacting requirements. In practice this means that much of the status information is graphic, and that key information is typically only one mouse click away. The display is clear, uncluttered and concise, with intuitive access to data.
ATRAK-AISS can be deployed in ACC, Approach, Tower, Search and Rescue, Flight Information Centre, ARO (Air Traffic Services Reporting Office), ATIS (Automatic Terminal Information Service); in major control centres and across regional and private Airports. This diverse deployment illustrates ATRAK-AISS’s flexibility and scalability to suite Air Navigation Service Providers’ needs regardless of function
or volume of air traffic flow and the underlying design, scalability, and configuration options enable it to be deployed at considerably less cost , not just to major Airports but to the Regional and Private sector
