Toronto City Centre Airport First in North America to get Accipiter® Radars into Air Traffic Control Tower

Accipiter Radar announced today another first for its Accipiter® line of software-definable radars at Toronto City Centre Airport (TCCA). Recently, Accipiter completed the installation and approval of a custom-developed application that provides automated alerts to controllers when targets of concern enter the marine exclusion zones that could conflict with take-offs and landings. The Accipiter® application integrates two radar systems and two cameras into a single hands-off display embedded into existing instrumentation consoles to minimize its footprint.

We needed a flexible, automated solution that would satisfy the particular needs of all stakeholders, and provide for growth, training, continuous data recording for incident management, and affordable life cycle support; and we needed it on a specific timeline. Accipiter delivered.

his team is privileged to work with Porter, TCCA and NAV CANADA and believes this successful experience is a model of cooperation that could be followed at other North American airports.
