AENA

Revolutionizing Airport Surveillance and Security for Spain's Airports Operator

AENA, Spain's Public Business Entity, manages the country's civil airports and air navigation facilities. Their mission is to guarantee safe, fluid, and efficient air transport. AENA uses the GSA (Global Surveillance Architecture) system to manage video surveillance equipment across all facilities. GSA integrates video systems with other critical airport services, ensuring smooth communication between air traffic control, security, and resource management.

In collaboration with THALES, Kubernesys developed a prototype to integrate PELCO equipment with the GSA system. This solution optimized AENA's airport security and surveillance infrastructure.

01

Challenge

As the airport network grew, so did the complexity of operations. Managing everything from aircraft landings and takeoffs to luggage handling, air traffic control, and perimeter security became increasingly challenging. AENA needed a solution to simplify these operations and ensure efficient communication between all systems.

A unified solution was necessary to integrate various systems and enable smooth data exchange. This would facilitate seamless communication between systems such as video surveillance and air traffic control. AENA needed to establish a "common language" to connect all these systems and meet operational standards.

02

Solution

  • Integrated PELCO video systems into AENA's surveillance platform for unified airport monitoring.
  • Developed middleware to enable smooth data exchange between AENA's systems and external platforms.
  • Created adaptors to facilitate communication between various airport systems, ensuring interoperability.
  • Worked with AENA to meet their standards and gain approval for equipment use across facilities.
03

Results

The integration of PELCO systems with GSA led to significant improvements in AENA's operations, securing facilities and boosting operational efficiency across the airport network.

  • Secured 100% of AENA's facilities with video surveillance.
  • Improved efficiency by 30% in operations.
  • Integrated 200+ PELCO systems into GSA.
