Ground View provides operational staff with a real-time geographical view of the airfield.

The product takes existing A-SMGCS data feeds and displays aircraft and vehicle movements through an intuitive browser-based Human Machine Interface (HMI) in real-time.

Benefits

  • Improved allocation and management of resources
  • Better coordination between disparate organisations
  • Improved service for passengers

  • Operational within weeks through zero impact deployment
  • No additional investment needed to distribute web-based HMI
"With the inbtroduction of the Ground View situational awareness tool, British Airways has been given a tool that empowers operational staff with a real-time view of airfield movements. Aircraft, with active transponders, are now displayed within Ground View via the Internet. This gives anyone with a PC the ability to view aircraft movements 24 hours a day. We are continuing to roll the system out to ever more users."

Mr Alan Sheldon, ATC Manager, BA

To learn how British Airways benefited from using the platform take a look at the BA Ground View Case Study.

Security

Rockshore understands the unique security considerations associated with handling certain types of aviation data.

Ground View supports both standard and airport specific security measures, a common example being the automatic filtering of government and military aircraft.

At Rockshore we tailor our solutions to meet your security needs.

Safety

Through zero-impact installation with respect to existing safety-critical systems, and the acceptance of operational usage terms by the airport community, Grounw View can be deployed without the need for a safety case.

This enables Ground View implementations to be operational within a matter of weeks.

Service Delivery

The Ground View solution can be delivered as an on-site application or as a fully-managed service hosted within Rockshore's datacentre and accessed securely via the Internet.

Both deployment options do not require additional investment in dedicated terminals and can be accessed from a standard PC.
