The document discusses innovation in airport systems by SELEX Sistemi Integrati. It summarizes several key systems including surface conflict alert, advanced tower automation, ground route management, CPDLC, and system interoperability. The focus is on integrating different airport stakeholders and tight integration between area, approach and aerodrome control centers through sharing of radar, flight plan and operational data. SELEX is involved in validating these systems through various SESAR test beds and validation platforms.

7. Surface Conflict Alert (SCA)
Situation Awareness
Surveillance
The Surface Conflict Alert (SCA)
receives surveillance information
SCA and airport environmental data
updates.
Ground Route Management
Conflict Prediction
CPDLC and Detection
Sophisticated algorithms allows
controllers managing any

potentially dangerous situation,
taking timely remedy actions and
HMI anticipating the severity growth.
System Interoperability
Warning and Alerting
A two-level alerting logic allows
controllers catching at a glance the
severity associated to each
dangerous situation.

• Flights distribution on available runways
• Management of Manual Assignment
SCA • Safety separation application
• Time constraints observation

9. Route Planning (RPLN)
RPLN determines and assigns, to each departing aircraft, the best and
Surveillance conflict-free route from the gate to the runway and to each arriving aircraft
the best and conflict-free route from the runway to the apron. It is also
SCA
possible for controllers to request a list of available predefined taxi routes
for each aircraft (depending on assigned couple gate-runway). Controllers
Ground Route Management
can select the route to be assigned among those proposed.
