- Rannoch Aircraft and Vehicle Tracking
The primary mission of the
AirScene System is to track all types of aircraft in the air and on an airport surface andtransponder -equipped vehicles to provide a high fidelity, high accuracy, and high update rate air/surface surveillance display. The system receives and decodes signals transmitted byMode A/C ,Mode S andADS-B transponders. The system can be configured so that the sensors are connected to a central processor in real-time, for up-to-the-second track information. Each signal is directly communicated to the central processor where the aircraft/vehicle(s) is/are identified and its/their position calculated in real time (nominally once per second).The remote sensors (
ARS ) are designed to be small and compact for easy sitting and installation. Both theGPS andL-Band antenna are light and extremely service-friendly allowing them to be installed virtually anywhere and in any environmental condition.
