As the System Integrator and turnkey supplier of the ATM Tower and Remote Tower processing system at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, Indra's Norwegian subsidiary Indra Navia would like to congratulate HungaroControl Zrt and Searidge Technologies Inc. for winning the Runway Award with the project “rTWR" and the first certified remote tower for medium-capacity airports.
“We would like to thank HungaroControl for the opportunity of working together on both the ATM Tower and rTWR systems,” says Elin Blakstad, Director of Tower Systems at Indra Navia.
Implementation of the program was started in 2015 following a comprehensive analysis of the operational requirements by HungaroControl. Indra’s delivery to HungaroControl’s rTWR program covered the Indra Navia’s NOVA Operational System, a Searidge Visualization System consisting of cameras and a 8x4 display Samsung Video Wall. The NOVA system provides the Visualization system with Multisensor track and Flight Plan information, RIMCAS alarms and track data for controlling the PTZ cameras from the NOVA system. The remote tower solution for Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport was certified for live operations with HungaroControl in November 2017. The integrated remote tower is the first of its kind to be approved for operations without capacity restrictions at a medium-sized airport.
