Amadeus Virtual Airfield Management System (VAMS)

Amadeus VAMS uses a series of video sensors to provide you with a live feed of obstructed areas. It simulates an out-the-window view for airport aprons, de-icing pads, and parking areas. Anywhere where traditional RAMP towers cannot see.

Video feeds of obstructed areas are delivered in real-time, giving you a live feed of chosen locations. So you can monitor areas and respond to situations in real-time.

All video feeds can be combined to provide a complete overview from one workstation. This gives your operators total visibility, all from one remotely-located workstation.

Amadeus VAMS gives you visibility in all weather conditions, including heavy glare, rain, and snow. This makes it ideal for locations where visibility is often low due to challenging weather conditions.

Video is captured by thermal cameras, then processed using computer vision algorithms in order to provide non-cooperative target detection, continuous tracking, geospatial positioning, and a variety of target attributes enabling smooth aircraft hand-off from the runway to gates.

The Searidge ATC-Grade Video system intuitively consolidates multiple camera scenes into one simulated out-of-the-window view of the area of interest.

Using both visible and thermal cameras with Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) functionality, Amadeus VAMS gives controllers full visual confirmation of the situation. So controllers can safely and effectively manage ground traffic with a high degree of confidence.

Amadeus VAMS integrates Searidge IntelliDAR™ tracking data into existing airport surveillance data sources (such as ASDE-X or A-SMGCS) and is presented on the Amadeus aerial view display.
