in other countries. Germany has a robust test going on,
and Searidge already has some camera technology
in use at various American airports such as Oakland
International Airport. Saab Sensis has also tested its
system in Australia.
Working with the Federal Aviation Administration's
(FAA) NextGen and Requirements offices, controllers
are providing input into safety and technical concerns
of both the FAA and users. The camera tower is located
on the terminal building at the airport, and the remote
tower displays are in the airport's conference room.
NATCA looks forward to continued participation in the
upcoming research, testing, and demonstration of the
RTS system at JYO. Through collaboration with both the
FAA and industry, our nation's air traffic controllers will
have a great opportunity to validate the benefits and
technology of the RTS system.
