SAIC Working on IAMS at Denver International Airport

May 20, 2013
In this three Phase project, SAIC will integrate numerous disparate systems and applications into a single, technology software platform for DIA.

According to SAIC, Implementing a command and control/event management platform as the centerpiece technology of the IAMS will provide data collection and exchange, organizational connectivity, and situational awareness and management across the airport's entire spectrum of operations. In this three Phase project, SAIC will integrate numerous disparate systems and applications into a single, technology software platform for DIA - a solution that will provide the airport's operation and management teams with critical information, allowing them to better respond to, mitigate, resolve, and recover from potential events, incidents, and emergencies, the company said. SAIC has collaborated with DIA to understand the challenges the airport faces in events such as a power failure, security-breach, snow removal, or an aircraft mishap or crash.

Deploying this software platform, designed especially for critical infrastructure environments, will improve airport domain and situational awareness with three fundamental capabilities: management of the video surveillance system; geospatial referencing through the integration of the geographical information system; and continuity through programmed procedures and plans, which are delivered by the business logic core of the software, the company added. SAIC has begun Phase I of the project, developing, engineering, implementing, and integrating the airport's baseline security systems, including the access control system, video surveillance system, and several other applications. In future Phases, SAIC will implement additional systems, applications, and technologies, enabling capability and functionality within the overall project resulting in one integrated airport management system. "At SAIC, we engineer successful and sustainable solutions. We have the systems integration and program management capabilities to develop and implement this advanced airport management system seamlessly and maximize value and impact for DIA," said James Moos, SAIC senior vice president and group general manager. "DIA's IAMS will be the nation's second system to be implemented at a major US airport," said Mark Denari, SAIC project manager. "We are very pleased to be part of such an exciting project that will improve and strengthen DIA's operations and management through this visionary and mission-oriented system."
