About the Eolos System
(Eolos at LGTS)
Eolos is a radar data projection and analysis tool.
Eolos is an easy to use system that can project aircraft
positions in real time getting radar data directly from a radar system.
This can be used by civil aviation authority staff to verify and
monitor correct operation of systems, sub systems and communication
lines. In the early development of Eolos, radar data was extracted from
the radar system of Thessaloniki international airport "Makedonia" with
permission from the airport's electronics department. Eolos' testing
began in the summer of 2003 and a basic version was completed a few
months later.
Afterwards many important features were added in order to make Eolos a
complete radar data projection and analysis and an air
traffic control tool.
Today Eolos is used as a backup radar data processing system at
"Makedonia" international airport (LGTS) and at Chania airport in Crete
(LGSA).
