Product Focus - TATIC® TWR

The TATIC^® TWR module was developed with the objective of controlling and managing the flow of air traffic information existing in a control tower, through software based on the electronic strip concept, the TATIC^® Workstation.

TATIC^® TWR embodies the second generation of Saipher ATC electronic strip systems for traffic control in aerodromes. It presents new resources, being extremely configurable to adapt to the most varied operational situation such as: military bases, small and large airports, AFIS stations, temporary control organs, special operations, etc.

The same way that the SGTC (Control Tower Management System developed by Saipher and in use in 108 aerodromes), TATIC^® TWR substitutes the conventional paper “strips” for “Electronic Flight Progression Strips” (EFPS). Each one of these strips represents an aircraft and contains information of its flight plan, being digitally distributed among the various operational positions, creating a silent, fast, paper-free environment. The natural movement of these strips by the operators reflects the aircrafts’ actions at the airport.

Integration with other modules

The great difference between TATIC^® TWR and SGTC is the integration of the first with the other TATIC^® Solution modules, making the solution a powerful, global use tool in the control and management of air traffic information.

Portability

One of the most marking characteristics of this system is the possibility of complete personalizing the product, everything from work flow, screen layout, behavior and style of the strips, allowing for this same system to serve the needs of any type of aerodrome anywhere in the world.

Integration

Another attribute that stands out a lot in TATIC TWR is its integration capacity. It is capable of communicating actively with the other systems and sectors inside and out of the aerodrome. The integration can take place both at the information level (receiving and sending data for other systems through specific events), or at the interface level allowing access of functions from other systems through the TATIC interface.

Add-Ins

TATIC TWR can have its capacities expanded for the use of resources/technologies such as:

• AFTN
• AMHS
• DCL (via DATALINK)
• D-TAXI (via DATALINK)
