DataBeacon

DataBeacon develops software that turns surveillance data into tools for air traffic controllers, flight information officers, safety managers and airport operations teams. The company is based in Madrid, Spain. It describes its products as digital assistants for aviation operations, built on data management and machine learning.

ROMEO5 Air is a flight information display for air traffic control and flight information services. It shows real time aircraft positions to controllers and flight information officers on any screen in the tower. ROMEO5 Ground shows the movement of vehicles and aircraft on stands and taxiways.

BRAVO5 replays surveillance data together with controller screen video and audio. A safety review can show exactly what the controller saw and heard. DELTA5 monitors airport performance and safety. It tracks measures such as runway occupancy, taxi times and intrusion alerts, using ADS-B infrastructure rather than a radar estate.

ECHO5 assesses emissions and fuel efficiency, both after operations and in real time. The company also says it is developing flow management and network complexity tools for operational rooms.

The platform is cloud-native. It can run in public clouds, private clouds or on premises. It accepts radar, terrestrial or satellite ADS-B, multilateration and other surveillance data. The company says its analysis runs more than ten million computations a day across tower, approach and en-route operations.

A typical ROMEO5 deployment goes from kick-off to go-live in about two months. The team delivers an interactive first version in week one, then builds custom mapping and connects equipment. The process ends with site acceptance testing, compliance documents, manuals, regulator training and go-live support.

The company says its software shows the traffic, computes the metric and cites the data it came from. Controllers make the decisions. The audit trail shows what they were looking at, which is why replay matters as much as real time.
