Video Solutions for Air Traffic Services

Canada’s Searidge Technologies says its intelligent video platform IntelliDAR is being utilized by NAV CANADA to develop innovative video technology applications for airport surface surveillance and remote monitoring. Searidge has been working with NAV CANADA on a variety of video-based applications for more than two years. NAV CANADA has deployed various video systems including air traffic control (ATC)-grade video, marine exclusion zone monitoring, and weather automation. The IntelliDAR platform has now also been deployed at the Ottawa test-bed to allow NAV CANADA to determine the potential application of IntelliDAR to operations ranging from airport surface management and remote monitoring.

"We think video is going to play an increasingly important role in air traffic control operations. Given Searidge's market leadership in the area and our previous track record with the company, it makes them a good partner as we move forward in our testing and evaluation of video-based solutions," says John Crichton, CEO, NAV CANADA.

IntelliDAR is a Non-Cooperative Surveillance System (NCSS) that detects and tracks all targets on an airport surface. The system processes video from a series of video camera sensors networked together to provide a real-time geospatial positioning of all targets in a given area, delivered to controllers via a situational display.
