NOMS

Understanding and managing aircraft noise in the community is a critical success factor for all airports. AirScene.com NOMS (Noise and Operations Monitoring System) is the industry’s first web-based system for monitoring, reporting, and displaying noise and flight track data. The web-based architecture gives AirScene.com NOMS the advantage of quick installation, reduced hardware cost, faster service and support, increased reliability, and greater availability.

The revolutionary AirScene.com NOMS uses the internet and a secure central processing and storage facility to collect, store, process, and display the data collected as part of a noise and flight track monitoring system. AirScene.com NOMS installs easily because there is little, if any, local hardware to install. Data from the flight tracking system, noise monitors, and other local data acquisition systems is sent over the internet to the centralized storage facility. All maintenance, backup, and troubleshooting is completed by the central facility staff. This reduces the amount of time required to fix a problem as no travel to the local site is required. The centralized data storage facility is maintained by professional network and database engineers who monitor and maintain the equipment to insure reliable service.

Era is the only company that offers a fully integrated and independent flight tracking solution based on ATC-quality multilateration surveillance technology. As a result, airports benefit from real-time unrestricted access to flight track information to support the community and to develop historical and predictive noise contours.
