DeWITT — Saab Sensis’ Aerobahn airport surface management system is now available for Apple and Android tablets.
Users can perform all the same functions of the desktop version on their tablets, according to Sensis, a subsidiary of Saab AB, a Swedish defense and security company. Aerobahn provides functions including access to real-time surface traffic, active management of flights and workflow states, and awareness of significant events.
“By placing Aerobahn on a tablet, users can take situational awareness, current flight data and powerful decision support tools anywhere on the airfield,” Ken Kaminski, senior vice president of Saab Sensis, said in a news release. “This makes it easier for airlines, air navigation service providers and airport operators to make critical, real-time decisions that affect operational performance and cost, at any time or place with a wireless internet connection.”
Sensis, based in DeWitt, employs about 600 people at eight locations and serves more than 60 customers in 35 countries. It has about 500 employees in Central New York.
The company provides sensor technologies, radar systems, modeling, and simulation for defense, civil aviation, airport, and airline customers. Saab bought Sensis in 2011 for $150 million.
