Funcionamento do radar Star 2000 na detecção de aeronaves o controle de tráfego aéreo em Manaus

Abstract

This research intends to portray the operation of Radar Star2000 in the detection of aircraft for air traffic control in Manaus. It is understood that air traffic is characterized by the circulation of several aircraft and requires the provision of services by controllers who monitor, guide and give all guidelines so that the flow is safe, fast and orderly, both in the air and on the ground. In addition to the human contribution, this work would not be possible if certain elements were not made up such as equipment and “software”, being extremely necessary to have greater ease in controlling aircraft in order to always maintain the highest levels of safety. It is noteworthy that the Radar, being a device that allows detecting objects and infers distances from electromagnetic waves emitted by the equipment itself and received by the aircraft's echo, helps to maintain the safety of air traffic, which is essential for a quantitative greater number of aircraft that land and take off at all times, transporting cargo, people, etc. In this sense, this study was carried out with a qualitative approach, where bibliographical and documentary research were carried out, emphasizing the verification of the composition and functioning of the Radar Star2000 through technical manuals, as well as the "software" that assists the aforementioned equipment in the detection of aircraft for traffic control. What was obtained as a result was the finding that the Radar generated a positive impact on the fluidity of the aircraft, since the city of Manaus has the second largest cargo airport in Brazil - Eduardo Gomes International Airport -, being the largest in the North Region In addition to the fact that the use of the equipment has contributed to the safety of people who use the aircraft for different purposes, it also helps the economy of the State.
