10 Points of Discussion Why DEVS? Background on GPS Airfield Safety with GPS Driver s Enhanced Vision System (DEVS) Overview 10

11 Global Positioning System (GPS) 11

12 Background on GPS Constellation of orbiting satellites Operated by US Air Force Signal is free Concept since 1950 s System since 1970 s Korean Air Lines Flight 007 Becomes Available for Civilian Use 1995 DEVS Evaluation by FAA 2000 Selective Availability (SA) Discontinued Other Similar Systems: Russian GLObal NAvigation Satellite System (GLONASS) European Union - Galileo 12

13 GPS as a Runway Safety and Airfield Navigation Tool Moving Map Display Vehicle operator situational awareness Navigation assistance Visual alerts Audible alerts Command and Control - Airfield Display Situational awareness of locations of vehicles and aircraft across the airfield Alerts on vehicle actions 13

14 DEVS Overview Primary purpose: Provide navigation aid when visibility is challenging in order to get to destination as quickly and as safely as possible Secondary purpose: Provide access to critical information Enhance communications 14

15 DEVS Overview FAA Advisory Circular 150/ A 15

16 Runway Incursion Warning System (RIWS) FAA Advisory Circular 150/

17 DEVS Primary Purpose Reduce response time in poor visibility DEVS can aid in: 1. Locating the accident 2. Navigating to the accident site 3. Avoiding obstacles 4. Locating people on the way to the accident site 17

18 DEVS Components CPU with GPS based Moving Map Display FLIR Camera On Board Information Storage & Retrieval Wireless Communications (Optional) Moving Map FLIR Document Library 18

19 DEVS Computer Display Dual DEVS Option 19

20 Vehicle with Dual DEVS 20

21 DEVS FLIR Picture-in-Picture 21

22 DEVS GPS Receiver DEVS Must Compute Vehicle Position within 30 Seconds Latest Generation Receivers Accurate to 2 ft. (60 cm) Position updates multiple times per second Increased accuracy and rapid update rate helps stay on paved surfaces Smooth map movement 22

23 DEVS Routing and Navigation Computer Generated Routes Navigate to a point simply by touching the map or navigate directly to the location of the incident Automatically generate quickest route on the hard surface Can add logic to reduce time on runways Manually Created Routes Preloaded Routes Staging Areas 23

24 DEVS Computer Generated Routes 24

26 DEVS Airfield Navigation 26

27 DEVS Airfield Navigation CAD Style Map 27

28 DEVS Incursion Warning 28

29 DEVS Construction Alert 29

30 DEVS Electronic Library 30

31 Command and Control Wireless Communication Cellular (most popular) Vehicle Tracking Transmit Incident Location Text Messaging between Emergency Command Center and Vehicles Reduce radio congestion 31

32 Command and Control Vehicle Tracking 32

33 DEVS CAD Layers Utilize available GIS CAD files to provide specific information Hydrants Crash Gates CAD layer(s) can be selected and overlaid on top of image Single or multiple layers 33

34 Other Features FOD Detection and Retrieval Multiple Video Sources to Maximize Cab Realestate FLIR Back-up Camera Forward Video Camera Heads-up Display 34

35 Future Developments Aircraft Locations and Tracking Wind Direction and Velocity Indication Link to Aircraft ELT Live Streaming Video Image Documents White Boarding and Collaboration 35

36 Training Initial Training for all Operators Classroom Portion In-Vehicle Portion Individual Practice Recurrent Training Regular Use Always keep DEVS in peripheral view to stay current and improve situational awareness 36
