Ricochet to record screens, radar and audio at Newcastle International Airport

Technology for the new screen recording requirements from the CAA Safety Regulation Group (SRG) will be implemented and the air traffic operators will benefit from a maximum recording performance and the highest level of replay functionality available on the market.

The Ricochet Recording & Replay System has been designed specifically for Air Traffic Control applications. Recording and perfectly synchronized replay of voice and multiple types of data sources was implemented as core functionality. Ricochets flexible system complies with ICAO standards, CAP670 and ED-111.

SRG requires all UK-airports to have a solution which supports recording and synchronous replay of both audio, At-The-Glass (ATG/screens) and ThroughThe-Wall (TTW/radar feed) installed by January 1st 2012. Ricochets recording and replay solution complies with all SRG requirements.

The Ricochet software records the screen to mirror all operations, including mouse movements and information displayed to the controllers. Available for immediate replay, this tool is optimized for fast recall, as well as for incident investigations.

Copperchase has established a number of strategic partnerships with the industrys leading suppliers, says Paul Boydell, Director of ATC Engineering at Copperchase Ltd. Simplified handling of data, enhanced data security and improved efficiency during incident investigation, makes Ricochet our customers choice.

Recording of multiple sources and the ability to replay these sources synchronously, is mandatory to be able to recreate the exact situation the Controllers experienced during an incident, says Oddmund Johansen, President & CEO, Ricochet AS. Ricochet is the only provider to offer a complete recording solution and we are leading the way in screen recording.
