Core Technology

The OCAS solution is the result of comprehensive research in advanced 3D radar technology by a highly experienced team of engineers with solid industry background. Cooperation with several aviation authorities, (i.e. FAA in the USA and Transport Canada) and industry customers (wind park owners, turbine manufacturers, utility companies) has ensured that operational requirements are always in the forefront when designing, developing and implementing the OCAS solution.

 

The core of OCAS is a compact 3D radar with the following key characteristics:

Core Technology

  • FMCW radar with range 3 – 5 km.
  • Low radiation, less than 2 watts emitted.
  • Consists of power unit (PU) and radar unit (RU).
  • RU size is diameter 45 cm , height 190 cm (without VHF antenna) and weight 90 kg.
  • Power consumption less than 25 watts, operates on 90-260VAC or solar panels.
  • Operation temperature -40 - +65 oC.
  • Highly specialised software with sophisticated algorithms
  • Identify only real threats – filtering out non relevant detections
  • Following moving threats and calculating possible time to impact
  • Proprietary hardware design using off the shelf components
  • No moving parts
  • Fault tolerant
  • No additional installation in aircraft required
 

The OCAS solution also comes with a monitoring system- OCAS Control Centre (OCC):

  • Allows for 24/7 monitoring of OCAS radars.
  • Automated monitoring with detailed status from individual modules
  • Remote upload of software or firmware updates
  • Remote upload of system configuration
  • Connection to OCC: LAN or GSM/GPRS, CDMA
  • Email or SMS alerts to service personnel
