Description

For ATC and air defense applications
Key Facts
  • Monitoring of the complete communications chain from controller working position to the radio
  • No additional hardware required for monitoring and controlling radios at the individual sites
  • Support for Rohde & Schwarz radios with EPM (ECCM) capabilities for military applications
  • Redundant system for continuous monitoring and control
  • Overall status report sent to higher-level monitoring system via SNMP
  • Complete situational overview of the radio sites through monitoring of SNMP-capable devices

Brief Description R&S®RCMS II is a software solution for monitoring the complete communications chain from the controller working position to the radio and for remote control of Rohde & Schwarz radios. R&S®RCMS II enables operators of air traffic control (ATC) systems and air defense (AD) systems to monitor Rohde & Schwarz radios, R&S®VCS-4G devices and other SNMP-capable components from one or more locations. Remote control of Rohde & Schwarz radios is also supported. This allows a cost-effective quick response to error conditions and provides the ability to set operational parameters for various ATC/AD scenarios. R&S®RCMS II is designed for monitoring scenarios ranging from individual airports to countrywide radiocommunications systems. The monitored and controlled devices are shown in both a tree view and a map view. The map view shows the location and basic configuration of each device. Individual devices can be selected and managed quickly and easily. The system data is recorded for customer-specific statistical analysis using third-party applications. The R&S®RCMS II software can easily be configured for customer-specific ATC/AD systems. By using off-the-shelf computer hardware and existing network infrastructure, the required capital expenditures and operational costs can be kept to a minimum. With R&S®RCMS II, it is quick and easy to integrate completely new sites or add to-bemonitored devices to expand an existing site.
