Project-FlySafe Systems-NGISS
The innovation of the FLYSAFE Next Generation Integrated Surveillance System (NG ISS)

One remarkable achievement of FLYSAFE will be the definition of fusion functions, collecting and managing together all information available on-board on flight hazards (terrain, traffic and atmospheric related).

All innovative functions will be integrated on the Next Generation Integrated Surveillance System for validation and proof of their applicability in solving the safety issue.

System innovations:

  • Centralised database server
  • Enhanced display system (Display Management Module) adapted to NG ISS requirements
  • Open architecture to allow for the addition of new sensors, alerts and functions.

Function innovations:
  • Fusion of atmospheric, traffic and terrain data on a single coherent presentation
  • Intelligent Crew Support to help the crew in aircraft management
  • Anticipation of hazardous situation relative to atmospheric phenomena, traffic and terrain, along the flight path
  • Enhanced human machine interface (crew interaction with surveillance system, crew monitoring)
  • Display presentation of atmospheric, traffic and terrain information on Navigation Display and Vertical Situation Display (Cartographic, 2D½ and exocentric 3D ND)
  • Side Display (SD) for flight operations support (navigation charts, map hosting, weather routine data)
  • Taxi Display to support current standard flight operations during take-off and landing.
This system will increase the crew capabilities to anticipate all hazards - terrain, traffic, and atmospheric related- along its flight path and take appropriate actions.

FLYSAFE's intention is to leap one step further as compared to existing products and to anticipate and respond to the needs of the next generation of such equipment up to a mock-up stage integrated in a representative environment.
