I'm glad somebody else asked first!

[PPRuNe Radar]

Geographic Information System ??

It features in kit such as CAATS used in Canada.

Try Google

Also known as a map.

Wether it's a video map on the radar display, half-mil, quarter-mil, Ordnance Survey, local area map, they are v. useful.

Somehow, I suspect this doesn't answer you question though...

PPRuNe Radar, thats perfect, I am looking for the std software solutions the other ATC's use similar to CAAC system in Canada.

Are there ready to use solutions avail in the industry??

GIS Applications for ATC

Hi Hairy Chest,

I graduated in GIS from Kingston University back in 2000, so was very interested in your thread.

Are you researching this for your studies or just general interest?

I did my final year dissertation on GIS applications for environmental applications at airports.

I came across some useful stuff on ESRI's website.

I guess that any system handling air traffic information could be defined as a GIS, due to it dealing with spatial information.

Airports with noise monitoring systems use GIS to display aircraft track-keeping.
