The ARTS keyboard configuration was designed to support 15 sensors, 10,000 simultaneous tracks, and over 200 displays within air traffic control towers. ARTS 111E is currently operational at a number of Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) facilities nationwide.
Sam Berhumoglu, Vice President, Director of Marketing of the Orbit Instrument Division, said, "This newly designed input/output (I/O) circuit card has been tested in real time, at a number of FAA sites, and will be available for system upgrade starting in the first quarter of 2010. The circuit card assemblies will be integrated into existing keyboards that were originally built by a competitor. The new Orbit circuit card design will significantly enhance the backlighting and dimming capabilities of the current keyboard which will make it easier for the air traffic control operators to track additional flights as well as communicate with other air traffic control facilities."
Berhumoglu said, "Consolidation of air traffic operations has been accomplished with a redesign of the airspace that will move air traffic in and out of any region more efficiently and safely. The ARTS system helps TRACON support increased demands on the air traffic system by providing more than 10 times the current capacity of the older systems in addition to increased functionality."
Dennis Sunshine, President and Chief Executive Officer of Orbit, said, "This award offers our Company a unique retrofit opportunity by initially introducing new I/O circuit cards that will be wired to existing keyboards that have been field operational 24/7 for a number of years. As additional keyboards supporting these ARTS 11E and 111E programs require further repair, our Company will determine if the I/O circuit card retrofit can resolve all technical issues. Since the aging keyboards will still require 24/7 operational capabilities after the new Orbit I/O circuit card is installed, the Company has proposed a competitive ID/IQ pricing structure that will allow the FAA to replace the entire old keyboard with a new form, fit, compatible Orbit keyboard at a cost that could be less than the continued repair of these field units."
