Brolair International has been engaged to conduct aviation safety-related studies and reviews under the Australian Government-funded Indonesia Transport Safety Assistance Package (ITSAP).

The ITSAP Project is helping to strengthen the capacity of Indonesian authorities to regulate and enforce higher safety standards within their aviation and maritime sectors.

The collaborative design effort involving engineering, technical and  air traffic control specialists from both Airservices Australia and the Sensis Project Team took place over several months and will form the baseline for a world-leading system know as INTAS, or Integrated Tower Automation Suite.

INTAS, for the first time, amalgamates all control tower functions into a single, integrated system that presents relevant information on common operator workstations in the tower cab.  The integrated capabilities include:

• Air and surface surveillance
• Flight data (virtual flight progress strips)
• Air-ground and ground-ground communications
• Weather radar and airport meteorological information
• Textual and graphical aeronautical information
• Digital Airport Terminal Information Service
• Pre-Departure Clearance
• Airport facilities and navigation aid monitoring
• Airport lighting control
• Tower cab environment and security controls

Virtual flight progress strips, automated flight information exchange and intuitive touch-screen technology eliminates the need for paper strips and significantly reduces verbal coordination.

Brolair International is providing operational support, advice and guidance into the design of the INTAS controller functions, computer-human interface and data communications interfaces.

Brolair International is working closely with Sensis Corporation of East Syracuse, New York to provide operational advice and program assistance for a growing range of air traffic surveillance and automation solutions.

Sensis is a global supplier of air traffic surveillance solutions including Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control Systems, Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast transceivers, Multilateration Surveillance , and real-time collaborative decision making tools for airline and airport operations.

Brolair International has entered into a cooperative arrangement with Airservices Australia to provide air traffic management consulting services in the Persian Gulf Region.

Working with Airservices’ Business Development Group, Brolair has already completed a number of tasks in the United Arab Emirates and is looking forward to ongoing, cooperative roles in the Middle East and other regions.

Bob Brown, Director of Brolair International, said, “Airservices is recognised globally as a leader in air traffic management innovation and we are pleased to be working with the organisation on major overseas aviation initiatives.”
