博士. 大卫·拜尔斯, 综合空中交通咨询系统的开发 (Satas的), 它采用现成的现成技术来创建一个虚拟的控制塔, 证明该系统在上周的太阳“N”缤纷呈现在莱克兰, 佛罗里达州.
Satas的结合了SharpEye的雷达单元, 通过检测巴拿马城的开发, 佛罗里达州。, 海洋应用, with the airfield radar system from SRI of Rockledge, 佛罗里达州。, which makes ground security radars. 一同, the systems identify and track aircraft flying in the area, all without the need for any transponders on board the aircraft. The final version of the system will also broadcast the traffic that the radars see using a computer-generated voice on the local traffic advisory frequency.
“This is real-time data,” Byers said, pointing at the Satas display screen showing red targets trailed by green tracks. The traffic display will also be available to anyone with Internet access and using the appropriate app or even an iPad. Byers began developing the system two years ago as a way to provide traffic advisory services at airports that do not qualify for an FAA control tower, or whose towers faced closure. The technology is available now, Byers said, but the Satas software still needs to be developed. Byers is now meeting with potential investors, seeking funding “in the three million dollars range” to continue Satas development. He estimates a fully functional Satas product would cost about $1.5 百万.
