The MITAS system is the ultimate in AWOS weather data presentation and tower applications systems bringing together the power of touchscreen AWOS information with a host of ATC related tools. Designed in conjunction with CNS/ATM professionals this system employs a modular approach that allows for easy customization and expansion of system capabilities. Other capabilities mentioned elsewhere on this site give details of the main modules such as RVR, ATIS & VOLMET, Airfield lighting and AWOS. The following are descriptions of some of the many other features and modules that the system can include:NAVAid & External Equipment Status MonitoringA common issue that ATC operators face is the need to monitor navaid and power supply status. The alarm module provides monitoring of the operational status of a small/medium size airports’ navaids at a fraction of the cost of a dedicated RCMS system.The MITAS Alarm Module is an application which monitors status inputs and alerts the operator when any adverse changes occur to the monitored conditions. Typical status information in a control tower includes: Power supply status, navaid serviceability, communication systems failures etc.Up to 32 status inputs can be monitored, in blocks of 8 inputs, by installation of optioisolated interfaces in the server.In the alarm HMI, each status input is displayed on a colored panel. When in Alert status, the panel is colored Red, when in OK status, the panel is colored Green. While any input is in Alert condition, the Alarms button in the taskbar will flash. Disabled inputs are colored Grey and unallocated inputs are hidden.
