"Smart" monitoring system from "Ruselectronics" tested at Vnukovo airport

Ruselectronics holding of Rostec State Corporation and Vnukovo International Airport have successfully completed pilot testing of a new infrastructure monitoring system with elements of artificial intelligence. During the operation, the development with high accuracy detected and accompanied objects even in difficult weather conditions. In the near future, similar complexes may be installed in several more Russian airports.

The system consists of active digital radars, integrated video cameras, a data processing server and specialized software using neural networks. & Nbsp; & nbsp; The radars detect moving objects and automatically transmit guidance commands to video cameras monitoring the movement of targets in the visible and infrared ranges.

Responsible for information processing is its own software, which can automatically recognize and track many objects. The program classifies targets with reference to the terrain and analyzes situations in real time. The hardware and software complex provides decision support for aviation security operators and other officials. As part of Ruselectronics, the project is being implemented by the Vega concern and the Polet Chelyabinsk radio plant.

Operations lasting more than 180 days took place on the territory of the main apron of the airport. The system detected and accompanied objects such as "airplane", "man", "passenger car" and "truck". Due to the use of a low-power radar in the permitted frequency range, the equipment did not affect the operation of ground-based radio technical support for flights and on-board equipment of aircraft. The tests also confirmed the operation of the locators in the entire range of ranges without "dead" zones and no need for maintenance during operation.

“Vnukovo is the third major airport where we are testing the capabilities of our monitoring system. & Nbsp; & nbsp; The operation of the equipment in conditions of heavy air and ground traffic allowed us to check not only the correctness of the laid down technical solutions, but also the possibility of correct interaction with the existing security systems of the airport. The new system may well be used as part of a single air harbor space according to the concept of "Smart Airport", "Digital Twin of the Airport" and "Remote Control Tower". By automating monitoring processes, the system is able to increase the level of aviation security, ”said Oleg Yevtushenko, executive director of Rostec State Corporation.
