CORTEX ALCMS - Airfield Lighting Control & Monitoring System, ICAO

One Scalable Platform

The CORTEX Airfield Lighting Control and Monitoring System (ALCMS) is based on a modular and scalable system platform that can grow with airport requirements. The platform’s three (3) packages provide design flexibility for airports to choose options to meet their requirements and budget allowing the systems to serve small regional airports up to the world's largest international hubs.

The three (3) types of CORTEX ALCMS design packages include:

Compact

• Designed to be the most economical, designed with minimum hardware components allowing for easy deployment and reduced Maintenance
• Targeting small single runway airports or heliports using mainly CCRs and Circuit Selectors for control of airfield lighting
• Includes a basic set of functionalities for traditional AGL on/off control, basic monitoring and tools for maintenance operations

Standard

• Provides additional ALCMS functionality for airports operating from CAT I to III
• Includes more advanced control and monitoring options including ILCMS, sensors and integrations with other airport systems
• Scalable design to support multiple airfield lighting substations with no HMI workstation limitations
• Provide additional operational functions and automation to reduce ATC workload and improve Maintenance efficiency

Advanced

• Provides the highest level of ALCMS functionality including surveillance, semi-automated routing, and guidance functions
• Designed to support airports with complex layouts and busy operations that require advanced aircraft surface movement routing and guidance including follow-the-green (FtG)
• Allowing integration with surveillance systems to provide a complete visual awareness of airside movements
