Airport Surface Movement Radar Products
AAT is proud to present its low cost airport surface movement radar
(SMR) product. The DSMR800 is a
millimetric radar suitable for many airport applications, including:
- Surface Movement Radar
- Gap Filling
- Critical Area Surveillance
- Runway Incursion Detection
- Area Penetration Monitoring
- Conflict Alert
- ILS Critical Area Protection
- Foreign Object Debris (FOD) Detection
The DSMR800 is
low cost, easily installed and provides excellent coverage. An article on
Low Cost Airport
Radar has been published in Air Traffic Technology International. AAT
has already been invited to bid on a number of airport SMR contracts.
Contracts
AAT is currently under contract to provide:
- Airport Safety Cases (including Radar,
Navaids and Landing systems)
- Airport Safety Assessments
- Safety Management Systems
- Airline Startup Study and Business Case
AAT successfully delivered several contracts
with international Civil Aviation Administrations:
- Safety Management Training to meet ICAO
Safety management requirements
- Air Traffic Service Certification
- Safety Case Development for various ATM
applications
AAT appears on TV
AAT has recently appeared on various TV channels
including the BBC, commenting on recent aviation accidents and incidents.
AAT appeared in a TV production for the
Discovery Channel. The programme investigated the Helios aircraft
accident.
AAT is currently contributing to two new
programmes on Space exploration.
Drug Detection kits Approved
Following successful trials of AAT's Drug Test
detection kits, UK Customs have approved these kits for operational use. The
trials carried out by HM Customs have demonstrated that the drug test kits are
accurate, reliable, easy to use, quick and effective.
Chemical Test for Explosives
AAT announce its
colorimetric chemical test for
explosives. The "Frontline" test is easy
to use, reliable and non-toxic. By taking a swab of the suspect substance and
applying it to each of three pads, a colour response is obtained if explosives
are present. The colour change indicates the type of explosive. Results are
obtained within 2 minutes. The Frontline
test will detect all major explosive types. This includes all commercial and
homemade types of explosives.
This low cost explosives test enables easy
searching of vehicles, people, bags, work surfaces etc. The detection kit can
be used on hands, plastics, fabrics etc. The solvent on the swabs is very
effective at lifting explosives residue on all materials, is safe to use and
will not stain.
These easy-to-apply colorimetric tests have been
developed as a rapid indicator for :
- Nitroaromatics
- Nitramines
- Nitrates
- Chlorates
- Peroxides
The list of detected substances includes: DNT,
TNT, EGDN, MMAN, NC, NG, NS, RDX, PETN, Tetryl, Ammonium nitrate, Potassium
nitrate, Sodium nitrate, Nitrite, ANFO, Trinitrobenzene, Picric acid, HMX.
Galileo Projects
AAT is a member of consortia that recently
delivered the results of two 6th Framework Programme (6FP) projects. The
consortia were working on applications of the Galileo Satellite Navigation
System. Galileo is due to become operational by 2014 and will offer certified
positioning and timing servicies to Users.
AAT completed work on the safety and
certification aspects of these GNSS projects:
- Galileo Receiver Design
- Road Tolling Applications
