How Atlas knows where to point the cameras

Every aircraft can be tracked. Even the silent ones.

Most aircraft broadcast their position. Some only transmit a signal. A few send nothing. Atlas has a way in for each.

1 · Most airlinersThe aircraft broadcasts its position.

ADS-B: position, flight number, tail sign

Approach to apron Illustrative

No joystick.

Four cameras hand the aircraft to each other from first contact to the stand. Nobody touches a control.

CAM-01Locked on kilometres out, before the aircraft is in sight.
CAM-01Holds the flare over the threshold.
CAM-02 → 04Hands over along the rollout and the taxiway.
CAM-04Follows it onto the stand. Bookmark written.

Optical · thermal · bispectral

Day. Night. Fog.

When the optical view fades, the thermal view holds the lock. Bispectral cameras carry both.

Daylight: optical camera feed locked on the aircraft in the flare

Night: thermal camera feed locked on the aircraft

Fog: thermal camera feed still locked while the runway is barely visible

GNSS spoofing

When GPS lies, Atlas still knows.

Three receivers check every report by time of arrival. A position that does not add up is flagged, and the cameras stay on the real aircraft.
