AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL RADAR SYSTEM [6 records]

Record 1 2018-11-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Titles of Federal Government Programs (Canadian)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
OBS

The effects of rapid technological change have been experienced most profoundly in the air sector. The Department has encountered a number of challenges, for example, in the development and implementation of its Radar Modernization Project(RAMP) and Canadian Automated Air Traffic System(CAATS) project. RAMP, completed in 1995, has modernized the air traffic control radar network. CAATS, now the responsibility of NAV CANADA, is designed to automate air traffic control operations across the country.

Key term(s)
  • Radar Modernisation Project

Domaine(s)
  • Titres de programmes fédéraux (Gouvernement canadien)
  • Radar, radioguidage et radiogoniométrie
OBS

Les effets de l'évolution technologique se sont surtout fait sentir dans le secteur du transport aérien. C'est ainsi que le Ministère a eu à faire face à de nombreux problèmes lors de l'élaboration et de la mise en œuvre de son Projet de modernisation des radars (RAMP) et du projet d'automatisation du Système canadien de contrôle de la circulation aérienne (CAATS). Le projet RAMP, mené à terme en 1995, a permis de moderniser le réseau de radars utilisé pour le contrôle de la circulation aérienne. Le projet relève maintenant de NAV CANADA et vise l'automatisation de toutes les activités de contrôle aérien qui se déroulent au pays.

Subject field(s)
  • Flight Instruments and Equipment (Aeroindustry)
  • Air Navigation Aids
DEF

A type of airborne collision avoidance system(ACAS) based on a family of airborne equipment that functions independently of the ground-based ATC [air traffic control] system to detect potential conflicting aircraft that are equipped with secondary surveillance radar(SSR) transponders.

OBS

There are three different versions: TCAS I provides traffic advisories; TCAS II provides traffic advisories and vertical resolution advisories (RA); and TCAS IV, when developed, will provide traffic advisories and vertical and horizontal RAs.

OBS

traffic alert and collision avoidance system; TCAS: term, abbreviation and definition standardized by the Glossary for Pilots and Air Traffic Services Personnel Committee.

DEF

Type de système anticollision embarqué (ACAS) fondé sur une famille d'équipement embarqué qui fonctionne indépendamment du système ATC [contrôle de la circulation aérienne] situé au sol pour déceler les aéronefs en conflit possible qui sont équipés de transpondeurs de radars secondaires de surveillance (SSR).

OBS

Il en existe trois versions différentes : TCAS I fournit des avis de trafic, TCAS II fournit des avis de trafic et des avis de résolution (RA) sur le plan vertical, et TCAS IV, lorsqu'il sera mis au point, fournira des avis de trafic ainsi que des RA sur les plans vertical et horizontal.

OBS

système d'avertissement de trafic et d'évitement d'abordage; TCAS : terme, abréviation et définition normalisés par le Comité sur le Glossaire à l'intention des pilotes et du personnel des services de la circulation aérienne.

  • Information Processing (Informatics)
  • Air Traffic Control
CONT

CDR(continuous data recording)-A service within NAS [National Airspace System] that provides a means of data transfer from memory to magnetic tape in which recordings are initiated by specific requests placed within the ATC [air traffic control] subprograms. This program is available at TRACON [terminal radar approach control] facilities to collect and analyze air traffic statistics and maintenance statistics, and to produce detailed ATC operational information for use in proceedings and investigations.

Subject field(s)
  • Flight Instruments and Equipment (Aeroindustry)
  • Air Traffic Control
CONT

The Air Traffic Control Transponder system provides the ground radar intercept controller with a distinguishing series of electronic pulses(response) from the airplane to the ground station, when triggered by a distinguishing series of electronic pulses(interrogation) from the ground station to the airplane. The transponder is capable of operation on 4, 096 interrogation and response codes in each of four modes of operation.... ATC Transponder system-1 and-2 are identical, each system consists of a receiver-transmitter, remote control panel, antenna, and associated interlocking circuits. Transponders-1 and-2 do not operate simultaneously. Selection of desired operating transponder is accomplished by placing the TFR(transfer) switch to-1 or-2 position for respective transponder operation.
