ATC INFORMATION DISPLAY SYSTEM (IDS)
The Copperchase Information Display System (IDS) has been developed as an ATC Intranet that is ready to be modified to suit the cient's individual requirements. The IDS has been designed to provide Intranet access to MET data, procedures, images, movements and personnel details using specific update utilities. The consistency of sensitive documentation may be protected; the Intranet blocks access to out-of-date material. The Intranet will run as an entity in itself or can be integrated into an airport's own Intranet for airport-wide access.
Taking advantage of widely used Internet software such as Windows™ Internet Explorer Web Browser, the Copperchase IDS exists to bring together all of the digitised documentation essential in the ATC Operational Watch Room.
