Thinking - ATC System Design and Engineering Management
Communications Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) forms an integral part
of ATM. Cyrrus personnel have wide experience in ATC System
Design and Engineering management. These personnel possess many
years of experience as active military and civil air traffic controllers,
air traffic engineers, and project managers at domestic and international
airports.
By employing system design and post project engineering management requirements
to each project (including PSR, SSR, ILS, NDB, VOR, DME, and ATC Comms
and facilities), our expert team of engineers provides the optimal
result to deliver a cost-effective and timely solution needed to meet
an operational requirement.
We take projects from conception to inception using the Cyrrus project
management process that has delivered successful projects for our clients. This process
is aligned with the safety
management system required by many regulatory authorities. The systematic
approach includes: the preparation of requirement specifications; tender evaluation;
management of installation and commissioning and establishment of maintenance
procedures and policy. We also have the skills to prepare the routine
procedures and documentation used by engineering and operational staff including
the development of National and Unit Manuals of Air Traffic Services.
Why Cyrrus?
Because Cyrrus offers the following features and benefits:
- Cyrrus personnel have wide-ranging technical expertise with extensive
knowledge of primary surveillance radar (PSR) and secondary surveillance
radar (SSR). This expertise and knowledge extends to the
full range of associated radio-based navigational aids and communications
facilities found at airports and ATC centres;
- The knowledge and practical experience to successfully manage
ATC System Engineering, both in the UK and overseas, that produces
effective results;
- We have personnel with first-hand knowledge about military and
civil air operations and their diverse requirements for ATC System
Engineering and Design. Moreover, these personnel have a
thorough understanding of UK and European regulatory issues;
- The ability to provide fully developed, logical solutions for
engineering challenges that are compliant with national regulatory
requirements;
- A Company with an enviable track record of success in realising
ATC System Engineering and Design projects;
- Cyrrus is not beholden to any particular supplier; therefore
the customer is presented with a proposal that meets a requirement
most cost-effectively.
Recent Projects
-
ILS sustainability assessment and report for Blackpool Airport to develop a managed plan to restore the ILS Glidepath to service as soon as possible in a cost-effective equipment update and replacement programme (Oct 2009);
- ILS Design for Partnership Company, Systems Interface Ltd, for an overseas client (Sep 2009);
- Runway Optimisation studies to make best and most
efficient use of existing runway lengths at 2 UK regional airports
and Vagar Airport (Faroe Islands) – (2005-2008);
- Turnkey project to supply engineering design and support to RHADS
and Liverpool John Lennon Airport for their respective PSR and SSR
projects. This required a remotely located radar approach facility
to be developed to realise the cost benefits and - more importantly
- the operational benefit for the Peel Group objectives (2007
- 2008);
- Turnkey project to supply a new NDB/DME at Oxford Airport (2007 -
see News section);
- Modelling and installation design of the new Runway 19 ILS/DME at
Oxford (2007 - see News section);
- Engineering requirements needed to support the Airspace Change Proposal
for Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield [RHADS] – (2007);
- ILS modelling and installation design for the Cat III and Cat I installations
proposed for Newquay Airport (ex-RAF St Mawgan) – (2007)
