Airspace Utilization Reporting Systems

Spiral Technology developed an Airspace Utilization Reporting System (AURS) for use by the joint services R-2508 Range Complex Control Board in its R-2508 Central Coordinating Facility (CCF) at the High Desert Terminal Radar Approach Control at Edwards Air Force Base, California. AURS is a replacement for the previous non-operational Radar Data Processor system which, due to evolutionary changes in hardware and software technology, was comparatively cumbersome and difficult to operate. AURS accomplishes three primary objectives:

• Generates a database populated by airspace utilization data
• Generates a variety of airspace utilization reports that are required by higher headquarters and are acceptable to the Department of Defense and the Federal Aviation Administration
• Automates functions previously performed manually by the CCF Airspace Managers.
