STARS LITE
Key Features and Benefits
• Increased situational awareness
and enhanced safety
• low cost
• Rapid delivery, minimal facility
requirements and simple installation
• Part of the STARS(FMs and
DoD's next-generation TRACON
system) family of products
The Standard Terminal
Automation Replacement
System(STARS)is the FAA's
and Department of Defense's
(000) next-generation
Terminal Radar Approach
Control (TRACON) automation system.STARSis currently
in operation at more than 100
sites and deployment is
planned at many more facilities
during the next fewyears. The
STARSLocal Integrated Tower
Equipment (LITE)system is
part of this product family,
designed specificallyfor use at
medium- and low-density airports. At an affordable price, it
provides tower controllers with
a displaysystem to increase
their situational awareness
beyond the normal visual range.
Bycombining flight-plan data
with inputs from existing
sensors, STARSLITEis able to
displayflight-plan information,
aircraft positions, aircraft data
blocks, safety alerts and weather information superimposed
on customized digital maps.
STARSLITEis able to interface
with an airport's Flight Data
Input/Output (FDIO) system,
enabling it to perform automatic beacon-code/call-sign
conversions.
Typically,STARSLITEis configured to receiveinputs from
one or more digital surveillance radars, but it can also be
configured to accept data from
Automatic Dependent
Surveillance-Broadcast
(ADS-B)
and multilateration systems.
Supported interfaces include
Common Digitizer and
ASTERIX.
STARSLITEis hosted on a
standard Sun Microsystems™
workstation, driving up to four
color displays,which can be
CRTs,flat-panel displaysor
high-brightness monitors. It
also uses a standard Sun keyboard with either a mouse or
trackball.
Use of commercial-off-theshelf (COTS) hardware results
in rapid delivery,minimal
facilityrequirements, and a
simple installationprocess.
Options for STARSLITE
include digital tape drives for
continuous data recording and
additional radar interfaces.
