DSI and Air National Guard Upgrade Air Traffic Systems at
Gabreski Airport, NYTogether, Dynamic Science, Inc., and the Air
National Guard Bureau, 106th Rescue Wing, have been making state of
the art upgrades to the Air Traffic Control and Landing Systems
Equipment at Francis S. Gabreski Airport. Everyone has been working
together toward upgrading the equipment and adding Air Traffic
Control automation support in the Control Tower. Recently, DSI
Technicians Pete Nichiporuk, Alex Morgan and SrA Shilo Watters from
the 106th Communication Flight completed the install
of STARS, the Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System,
which will provide enhanced functionality and efficiency within the
National Airspace.
In the past few months they have also completed upgrades to the
Digital Audio Legal Recorder (DALR) and the Enhanced Terminal Voice
Switch (ETVS). The ETVS was installed by the Alpena CRTC including
SMSgt Paul Coleman, TSgt Kenneth Gese and DSI technicians
Nichiporuk and Morgan. Working together as a team, Dynamic Science,
Inc., the Air National Guard Bureau, and the 106th Rescue Wing have
worked in concert toward improving operational safety and support
for their airport and its many users.
DSI Employees Receive STARS and TACAN Equipment TrainingDynamic
Science, Inc. employees Morgan Gore (Gabreski Airport, NY), Todd
Stone, and Brad Gloyd (Martinsburg Airport, WV), recently attended
24 hours of rigorous training focused on the maintenance of the
Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS). Training
was administered by Mark Neal of Air Force Flight Standards Agency
(AFFSA) Headquarters, Oklahoma City, OK.
The STARS program utilizes RADAR to receive and process aircraft
reports, weather, and other non-target messages from both Terminal
and Enroute digital sensors, while also detecting unsafe
proximities between tracked aircraft pairs and providing warning if
tracked aircraft are detected at a dangerously low altitude.
Training consisted of detailed maintenance practices such as the
removal procedures, installation procedures, and in-depth
comprehension of the advanced circuitry and workings of the STARS.
With the help of AFFSA’s Mr. Neal, DSI employees are now
substantially more qualified and equipped to provide safe and
reliable air traffic information to regional air traffic
controllers.
In addition to the STARS training, DSI employees Morgan Gore and
Pete Nichiporuk from Gabreski Airport, NY, alongside William
Donahue and Jeffrey Marcotte from Burlington International Airport,
VT completed a week long, Tactical Air Navigation System (TACAN)
training class taught by David Deppen, also from AFFSA. The
training provided will ensure that these DSI technicians will be
able continue to provide exceptional support for the Air National
Guard and any military aircraft utilizing the TACAN for
navigation.
Alpena, Michigan / Alpena Air Traffic Control Tower – DSI’s
latest site addition to the ANG ContractOn September 1, 2015, the
Alpena ATCT located at Alpena, Michigan was added as the latest
addition to the DSI/NGB contract. The Alpena ATCT is located on the
base of the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center (CRTC). Along
with handling regularly
scheduled air carrier service and general aviation, the ATCT
handles a large mix of military aircraft.
The Alpena County Regional Airport is a joint-use airport that
is owned and operated by Alpena County. The airport has the
distinction of being the host to one of only four CRTCs in the
United States and is considered by many to be the “Gem of the
North.” The CRTC is equipped with the latest DASR 11 radar,
operates its own Radar Approach Control (RAPCON) and
schedules/manages the largest Special Use Airspace complex east of
the Mississippi. These key training attributes draw Air National
Guard (ANG) units from all over the nation as well as elite Air
Force, Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Marines units and NATO coalition
forces.
Mr. Timothy Snare is the DSI Air Traffic Manager responsible for
the day-today operation of the control tower.
DSI Welcomes Project Manager Karen MurphyOn August 17th, Karen
Murphy joined the Defense Technical Services Division as Project
Manager. Her responsibilities include representing the division on
all contractual matters supporting the Army Research Lab (ARL).
Karen is an award-winning business professional with over seventeen
years of program management and business development experience,
with an additional seven years of environmental protection and
safety focused technical work. Seventeen years of that experience
took place at Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), supporting the Army
Research Laboratory and the Communications-Electronics Research,
Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC). Additionally, she
served as a program manager for a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
contract at Fort Campbell, KY, and also several contracts at the
Adelphi Laboratory Center. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in
Biology and a Master of Arts degree in Organizational Management.
Welcome, Karen!
