Orolia Selected for FAA Air Traffic Control System Timing Technology

Nearly 200 SecureSync® Time Synchonization Servers for U.S. Enroute Radar Systems

Background

FAAThe Federal Aviation Administration is the regulatory transportation agency in the Unites States responsible for regulating all aspects of civil aviation in the US. employs a variety of radar types for short-, medium- and long-range air traffic control requirements. Those different radars require different types of timing signals and outputs to suit their operations.

Orolia was selected by the FAA for this competitive program selected to support enroute radar systems across the U.S. based on its proven timing and synchronization technology and its ability to offer multiple output options as COTS products that do not require additional research and development time or investment.

Solution

SecureSync, Orolia’s Time and Synchronization Device, provides the necessary timing outputs and signals required for these radars. The timeserver’s outstanding ability to provide resilient, accurate and reliable timestamps for the data that it receives from radars is used to quickly organize the data for the aircraft control user interface.

Only SecureSync combines multi-GNSS signal synchronization, options for alternative signals and GNSSGlobal navigation satellite system (GNSS): A general term describing any satellite constellation that provides positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services on a global or regional basis.
