ACAMS AS delivers its Integrated ATC Tower
Solutions to
Rio de Janeiro International Airport, Galeão
In October 2007, ACAMS AS were contracted by CISCEA*
of Brazil to facilitate a complete modernization of the Visual Control
Room of the ATC Tower of the Rio de Janeiro International Airport,
Galeão.
This project involves EBCO Systems of Brazil - ACAMS AS’s
partner and representative in Brazil. The implementation process
remains ongoing and is currently progressing well and in line with
the tight schedule.
“The contract represents a significant breakthrough for ACAMS
AS in South America. From a strategic perspective, it is a very important
contract that clearly underlines ACAMS AS’s position as a leading
supplier of integrated systems for the control, monitoring and information
display at modern ATC Tower operations” stated ACAMS AS management,
represented by Mr Kim Fredheim and Mr Odd Thodesen.
Through adopting the ACAMS concept, CISCEA will experience solutions
substantially improving the working environment of the Air Traffic
Controllers and propel the Galeão TWR towards a higher world
class standard that will take it into the next generation.
This represents another example of the Brazilian aviation authorities
taking a leading role in the application of modern concepts and technology
in ATC (as was the case some years previously when they were one of
the very few ATM providers to start using the concept of electronic
flight strips throughout Brazil).
The project encompasses a full upgrade and modernization of the TWR
cabin and ATC operational environment, including:
• New TWR Furniture and fittings
• Consoles, Shades, Ceiling
etc.
• ACAMS Integrated TWR system
• Re-fitting of existing up-to-date systems
• Radar system, VCCS, Recorder,
In the modernized Galeão TWR, the ACAMS concept is being comprehensively
applied:
