IDS5-AIM Serves:

• Airport Operations Centers
• Ramp Control
• Emergency Management

IDS5-AIM is a system of workstations connected by a communications network to distribute and display static and real-time data throughout the work environment sharing a common set of display pages (screens of information). The IDS5-AIM communication system provides rapid distribution of data from several sources to all workstations on the system. The alert system provides users with visual and/or audible alerts to changes in critical information, as determined by local administrators.

IDS5-AIM also provides the capability of sharing and exchanging data between various types of organizations. For example, IDS5-AIM interfaces ACE-IDS and IDS4 systems for bi-directional information exchange. Both facilities would determine which pages of information would be “shared” between the two facilities and the information would be available bi-directionally.

IDS5-AIM software is completely customizable for each facility and/or each workstation. For example, data displayed on a 911-dispatch workstation can also be displayed at an EOC workstation in its entirety or only portions of it along with ATC data, weather data, etc.

IDS5-AIM software integrates data into the pages from multiple sources, such as, reference materials, manual entries, external systems, imports, etc. Data is “embedded” into the IDS5-AIM page, virtually eliminating the long process of loading large documents, images, diagrams, etc.

IDS5-AIM can be configured to receive information from FAA sources such as: runways in use, graphical weather products, text based weather products, wind shear data, runway visual range, altimeter, and official time source. Displaying real-time data from these systems through IDS5-AIM eliminates the need for multiple displays, freeing space at the user’s console and creating a single focal point for obtaining information.
