Dubai International Airport (DXB) and Al Maktoum
International Airport (DWC) in the United Arab Emirates are
upgrading their systems with Saabs Integrated Air Traffic Control
Suite which includes the Departure Manager (DMAN) solution
designed to support sequencing of departing aircraft.
Saabs Integrated Air Traffic Control Suite
(I-ATS) is a flexible digital platform
that provides tower and approach controllers with a comprehensive
set of tools to safely and efficiently manage traffic flow.
Saab chosen to upgrade air traffic control at DXB and DWC airports in Dubai
The contract, awarded to Saab by Dubai Aviation
Engineering Projects includes approximately 95 controller working
positions which will be distributed between the two airports, the
Emirates Flight Training Academy and the Contingency Operations
Center.
All the key aspects of I-ATS have been developed
in close cooperation with the end users themselves, with a primary
focus placed on ease of use, improved situational awareness and
reduced controller workload. This solution will support Dubai
Aviation Engineering Projects in the step forward to upgrade the
towers to the latest digital platforms and provide a more
efficient workflow for the controllers, said Per Ahl, Head of
Marketing & Sales, Air Traffic Management Tower Systems at Saab.
Saab will roll out the programme in a phased
approach, starting with workshops to design the control tower and
the configuration of the I-ATS Human Machine Interface.
The
finished implementation will include a test and validation
platform, as well as a contingency and an operational system for
each airport.
The majority of the controller working positions
will be located in the DWC systems, as that airport will be
roughly five times larger than DXB.
