Customers include the world’s leading air navigation service providers, airlines, and airport operators. Saab has been a market leader in air traffic surveillance and air traffic management solutions for more than two decades and serves a variety of aviation stakeholders. With a higher update rate and greater positional accuracy than traditional radar, Saab’s multilateration provides effective surveillance for increased safety, capacity and efficiency of airspace. Saab’s solution provides air traffic controllers with precise aircraft position and identification information, regardless of weather conditions. Saab’s WAM solutions use multiple, low-maintenance, non-rotating sensors to calculate aircraft locations based on transponder signals. We look forward to working closely with Saab and we’re confident that their CSS solution and ability to implement it in due time can help us meet those goals,” said Juraj Maštrović, CroControl’s Executive Director of Technical Services and Infrastructure. “Our objective is to enhance the existing surveillance system that is currently used to provide safe and efficient Air Traffic Control service in Croatia. The system can easily be expanded to provide seamless coverage through the incorporation of additional remote units without the need for more centralized hardware,” said Erik Smith, President and CEO of Saab in the U.S. “Saab’s CSS system for Croatia uses the latest version of our WAM technology along with the newest software and sensors, providing accurate and reliable detection of aircraft transponders from take-off to landing. The CSS uses Wide Area Multilateration (WAM) technology, and Croatia will now have one of the biggest and comprehensive WAM systems in the world. This information will assist in creating a UAE 'position' paper, uniquely positioning the UAE on the global map of well-established entities capable of investigating, given the recent challenges highlighted by the Air France, Malaysians Airways and Air Asia tragic air accidents.Saab will support flight operations across Croatia, bringing high-quality and high-value surveillance data into CroControl’s own air traffic systems. Such a study would include information on the equipment needed, their capabilities, benchmarks for other investigation authorities and industries, vessels required, etc. Participants expressed their willingness, pending higher management approval and coordination, to contribute so that the UAE could formulate the gathering of more information. Before this can be achieved, they must first be located and retrieved, usually from great depths in the world’s oceans, which is a technological, logistical, safety and retrieval challenge unprecedented in air accident investigation The participants agreed to suggestions raised and a working group will be formed with the aim of organising a 'road map' for a small scale exercise and a workshop in November 2016. The key to solving the reasons for accidents is by analysing the ‘Black' boxes. All stakeholders were fully engaged in effectively contributing with outstanding ideas and excellent thoughts which will be taken forward by the GCAA Air Accident Investigation Sector, which will act as a coordinator and communicator of a working group or task force Proactively addressing an industry response to aircraft accidents where the aircraft has not been located has been a recent challenge for aviation investigation agencies, with the Malaysian Boeing 777 Flight MH 370 in particular resulting in the ICAO responding by making the provision for updates to date real time tracking a mandatory requirement. The workshop was well represented with participants from the UAE armed forces, search and rescue centres, and aircraft and aerodrome operators. The main subject discussed at the innovation workshop was how the UAE can innovate in order to approach the underwater recovery of flight recorders in a way that would address the region's exceptional environment. DUBAI, 17th December, 2015 (WAM) - The General Civil Aviation Authority, GCAA, recently organised a workshop to brainstorm innovative solutions to challenging air accidents investigations, notably in cases where the aircraft cannot be tracked or located.
