Searidge unveils enhanced airport vision display for remote towers

Searidge Technologies has introduced enhanced airport vision display (EAVD) for airport surface management and remote towers.

Designed to provide comprehensive situational awareness of the airport surface, the Ultra HD video system is a highly advanced, customisable human machine interface (HMI) capable of integrating day/night visible, thermal and pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras to display multiple sources of real-time information to air traffic controllers and airport operations staff.

"The significant benefits the system brought to our operation led Malta ATS to leverage and scale the system in order to achieve an airport-wide low-cost ground surveillance system," Sant added.

Malta Air Traffic Services chief operating officer Robert Sant said that the flexibility and usability of EAVD enables the company to tailor features ranging from viewing options to user controls.

Searidge Technologies ATM/airport technology executive vice president Alex Sauriol said EAVD offers a robust, scalable platform that meets the operational needs and support the evolution of tower operations well into the future.

"Our goal with EAVD was to combine the safety and reliability of our ATC Grade video platform, the most widely deployed video platform in ATC today – and the most innovative elements of intelligent video technology available on the market, from ULTRA HD to advanced image-processing, and rapid real-time compression techniques," Sauriol added.
