Focus on innovation
Forefront of aviation technology
The aviation industry is evolving quickly, and we are evolving with it.
We are at the forefront of exploring new technologies to make our services faster, more efficient and more valuable for all airspace users.
OneSKY program
The future of Air traffic Management
The OneSKY Australia program is an innovative example of next-generation technology in the aviation sector, delivering an advanced integrated air traffic management system between Airservices and the Department of Defence. It will enhance the efficiency and security of air services, and support future air traffic growth.
FIMS
Flight Information Management System
Australia's Flight Information Management System (FIMS) will support the safe and efficient integration of emerging airspace users, including drone operators and air taxis, into Australia’s low-altitude airspace.
FIMS will form the basis of an enhanced air traffic system that will enable Airservices to share flight information between air traffic control, traditional aircraft, and new airspace users – ensuring crewed and uncrewed flights can operate safely together in Australian airspace.
DAS
Digital Aerodrome Service
Airservices is partnering with technology providers to develop the Digital Aerodrome Service (DAS) at Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport (WSI) using internationally proven, state-of-the-art technology that provides more information and greater situational awareness to air traffic controllers.
WSI will operate as a digitised aerodrome, with more than 20 high-resolution cameras monitoring the airport and immediate airspace and beaming real-time vision to a centralised control room.
DAS enables new air traffic management tools and features such as object tracking, night vision and image enhancement – allowing air traffic controllers to see beyond the limitations of the human eye. Infrared cameras will enable controllers to see more at night and during periods of low visibility.
A-CDM
Airport Collaborative Decision Making
Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM) is new way of working to improve the efficiency of airport operations and air traffic predictability through real-time data sharing between all airport stakeholders via a single information platform. A-CDM will be implemented in Brisbane, Perth, Sydney and Melbourne in 2025.
A-CDM will improve the way airports, aircraft operators, ground handling organisations and Air Traffic Control work to harmonise airport operations through data sharing and decision support technology along with improvements in how the various parties come together to make collaborative decisions. This will lead to:
- Better utilisation of runway and gate capacity
- Smoother recovery from adverse operations
- Higher predictability.
