Encrypted Aircraft Arresting Controls in Qatar

Motorola ACE3600 controllers and encrypted PAACS for a dual-runway installation.

Global Data Specialists delivered a Phoenix Aircraft Arresting Control System (PAACS) project for a dual-runway aircraft arresting installation at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. The system uses Motorola ACE3600 controllers and encrypted control communications.

Controls for a Dual-Runway Installation

GDS integrated custom control panels, Motorola ACE3600 controllers, encrypted communications and application software for the barriers on both runways.

GDS's work covered system programming and testing, followed by installation, startup and commissioning.

Operator Documentation and Training

The project also included user documentation and training for the people operating and maintaining the controls.
