Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) has signed an agreement with Aireon, the world’s leading provider of space-based aviation data products and services, for its Safety Dashboard analytics platform and AireonVECTOR Monitor GPS interference toolkit.
AireonVECTOR, which was launched earlier this year, leverages Aireon’s global, real-time, space-based automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) data to pinpoint the location of aircraft independent of the GPS signal via a proprietary algorithm. This suite of tools and resources is designed to help aviation stakeholders stay apprised of real-time changes in the GPS signal reliability.
AireonVECTOR Monitor, which leverages a COTS visualization tool to provide detailed, real-time airspace data for ANSPs, allowing the users to perform detailed analytics into the sources and impacts of signal interference.
Besides AireonVECTOR Monitor, other products in the VECTOR product family include:
- AireonVECTOR Flight: A position track of an aircraft that is generated independent of a GPS signal. AireonVECTOR Flight generates a “truth position” of the aircraft that has its basis in the timing of satellite receipt of ADS-B transmissions to produce a location that is independent of GPS-reported position.
- AireonSTREAM powered by VECTOR: Aireon VECTOR enhances AireonSTREAM by providing superior flight tracks even in the presence of high interference by combining ADS-B messages received directly via Aireon’s satellite network with AireonVECTOR’s calculated aircraft positions.
“GPS interference is a significant and growing safety threat for the aviation industry,” said Peter Cabooter, Executive Vice President, Customer Affairs, at Aireon. “We have heard from our customers the operational imperative to have real-time data to address situations in real time. And AireonVECTOR answers that need.”
Additionally, the Aireon Safety Dashboard provides powerful data insights for ANSPs to identify, monitor, and analyze key leading indicators of safety in their airspace. The dashboard provides a visual representation of each key risk indicator, making it easy to identify trends, patterns, and outliers.
