Searidge to provide Digital Aerodrome Services Program for Airservices Australia:


18 November 2019: In the latest announcement at the Dubai Airshow today, Airservice Australia selected Searidge Technologies for installation of a 4k video display with panoramic views at Sydney airport. This initial prototype is the first step towards possible contingency use in Sydney, as well as potential applications at other Australian aerodromes.

The SYD prototype will showcase the Ultra High Definition (UHD) views of the main operating areas and create a facility for controllers and the regulator to experience the extensive benefits and features of a digital tower, including its use for contingency operations.

"Digital Aerodrome Services will allow us to optimise our future service delivery and improve safety outcomes for the industry and travelling public," said Peter Curran, Executive General Manager Air Navigation Services, Airservices Australia. "It also means we can support greater resilience at our major airports and be responsive to service level requirements."

"We are pleased to partner with Airservices Australia and are looking forward to sharing our knowledge and showcasing our technology to demonstrate digital towers as an agile and flexible method of delivering aerodrome services to support their long term growth, safety and asset management plans," says Moodie Cheikh, CEO, Searidge Technologies.

The program is currently underway and scheduled to be completed by March 2020.
