![]() ![]() “This is not about contingency with less traffic, but contingency at 100% capacity, that is the main driver here,” Gustavsson said. The company will be talking about the plans here at the Dubai Airshow ahead of a formal launch of the product at the Airspace World airspace management exhibition in Geneva planned for March. Located in close proximity to the Burj Kalifa, the Downtown Towers Hotel and Apartments consists of three 24 story. With airports recognized as critical national infrastructure by governments, Gustavsson said the technology would boost the resilience of the facilities against potential disruption. The AED 1.8 billion complex features a 1,608-room hotel run by Marriott International. Gustavsson said the technology is already developed and being offered to three major international airports with the OEM working on more sales campaigns. The JW Marriott Marquis Dubai Hotel is the worlds second tallest hotel, a 72-storey, 355 m (1,165 ft) twin-tower skyscraper complex in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. “This technology could really make a difference for airports around the world especially now as we face more unrest in the world,” Gustavsson said. So far, the company’s digital tower technology-which replaces the traditional air traffic control structure with high-definition cameras linked to a nearby or geographically separate locations-has so far only largely only been adopted for regional airports, with London’s City Airport the busiest facility so far to make use of it.īut to make the digital towers more attractive for larger airports, Saab is combining that system with its automated air traffic control products, blending the two technologies together.īy fusing the technologies together, air traffic controllers could be warned of drone incursions, with their location highlighted on their digital view of the outside world. “If a tower is unable to function the existing contingencies cannot operate at full capacity, that has a huge impact on both the economy and transportation.” “Airports now operate in a different world,” Niclas Gustavsson, Saab’s VP for business development at government affairs at its Digital Air Traffic Solutions business, told ShowNews in the run-up to the Dubai Airshow. The company is proposing this new Integrated Digital Tower Suite (I-DTS) to major airports to give them a contingency capability that could enable them to remain fully operational and at capacity, even if an air traffic control tower is forced to close due to say a fire or evacuation of its staff. DUBAI-Having pioneered digital remote towers for regional airports, Saab is exploring whether that technology combined with its Integrated Air Traffic Suite products could also support major international gateways. ![]()
