SkyRack ATC provides the important use cases for ATSEP qualification in line with EASA's Easy Access Rules for ATM-ANS (Regulation (EU) 2017/373) ATSEP.BAP.SMC.
This infrastructure solution comes as hardware. Depending on the destination it will be shipped disassembled and assembled at customer site, or it will be shipped readily installed right away.
The servers include pre-installed software (depending on the destination, the software will be installed in the destination country.
SkyRack ATC is a pedagogically enhanced server cabinet with facilities, data processing infrastructure, networks and applications similar to those used in ATC. If a complete ATM system is required, please use our fully operational ATM system and tower simulator. SkyRadar provides the SkyRack ATC as infrastructure for monitoring and control exercises with SkySMC, the pedagogical, but fully operating monitoring and control solution. SkyRack is not a stand-alone infrastructure. SkySMC can connect concurrently to Surveillance Infrastructure like the NextGen 8 GHz Radar, to our fully operational ATM system, to our virtual infrastructure or to any external system with standardized Object Identifier Codes (by ITU or/and ISO).
The system connects to the pedagogically enhanced monitoring environment SkySMC and includes a virtualized / simulated ATC training architecture. It connects to the various training laboratories by SkyRadar. The monitoring system is by default connected to special training infrastructure and optionally to an environment for remote monitoring experiments. It is accessible from all computers in the available laboratories including radar labs, electrical installations, electro-mechanics, electronics.
The cabinet can be accessed from 2 sides.
The front side is what is visible to the trainee. It is a typical ATC server arrangement. Trainees need to make use of the system control and monitoring software SkySMC to detect errors or system degradations before applying the right recovery strategy.
The rear side shows the manual hardware-based control panel. The teacher can manually enforce system degradations or errors. He or she can e.g., switch off certain network connections, or hardware components by interrupting the power supply.
SkyRack includes a 19" Touch-Panel, accessible from the front side.
Screen characteristics:
1280x1024 Pixels
16,7 Mio colors
250cd/m2
Contrast: 1000:1
Display size: 19"
Resolution: 1280x1024 (5:4)
Width: 483mm
Depth: 51mm
Height: 355mm
Below the Touchpanel, there is a socket rack allowing to measure (simulated) radar parameters with oscilloscope and multimeter.
The server rack is equipped by default with 2 server modules. The modules contain databases and applications like the small pedagogical FDPS. The various applications communicate with eachother through the physical network. The applications provide typical ATC constellations in a nutshell.
The software applications include e.g.,
The network routerboard consists of of a4-Port Ethernet Line Breaker with relay controlled Ethernet ports and integrated I/O module. It is a is a cybersecurity system for industrial networks that can physically disconnect Ethernet connections. It features relay-controlled 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, each of which can be turned on and off via a toggle switch on the device as well as remotely. Remote control is based on standardized communication protocols.
The teacher can cause network errors and degradation manually though physical switching or remotely through the teacher panel in the SkySMC.
The switchable power strip allows to manually switch on and off Servers and Facilities.
The teacher can cause network errors and degradation manually though physical switching or remotely through the teacher panel in the SkySMC.
The system is equipped with 2 Uninterrupted Power Supplies (min 3x750 W). Through SNMP, The SkySMC System Monitoring and Control software can monitor the USPs.
From teacher panel, the teacher can switch on and off the USPs.
The system includes a Fan with Thermostat.
An important Facility in the ATC landscape is fire detection and monitoring.
The server cabinet can be extended by a fire detector with SNMP communication to be monitored by SkySMC.
The monitoring environment is able to include a variety of different labs, including the NextGen radars, the ATC Radar and Tower Simulator, or various electronical and electro-mechanical labs.
SkyRadar's base unit is a close range training and research radar for indoor and outdoor experiments.
At the leading edge of security provision within its key markets, Cryptomathic closely supports its global customer base with many multinationals as longstanding clients.
SkyRadar develops and distributes radar training systems (Pulse, Doppler, FMCW, SSR) and tower simulators for universities and aviation academies.
