Kongsberg Geospatial concludes trials of EOAMS
Kongsberg Geospatial has concluded the final trials of the Emergency Operations Airspace Management System (EOAMS), the company announced on 9 August.
The EOAMS situational awareness display provides first responders with a clear picture of the airspace immediately around a disaster scene. The system integrates real-time data from a variety of sensors, including 3D aerial radar, ground-oriented radar, Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast sensors, video feeds and GPS trackers.
By assembling data from all these sources, the EOAMS system allows operators to track and identify a variety of emergency aircraft and cooperating ground vehicles, while allowing first responders to safely operate UAS in the same airspace. The EOAMS system can also detect and warn of the intrusion of unidentified, non-cooperative UAS into the airspace.
The new situational awareness system, developed under a project funded by the Defence Research and Development Canada, will be evaluated by multiple government organisations for managing airspace and emergency response units during disaster scenarios.
The outcome of these trials will be used to inform the development of future emergency airspace management systems for use by first responders, police services, and other government agencies in Canada.
