Data and Video Recorder for
Post-Operational Analysis
and Replay
Bravo5 is an advanced data and video recorder that captures, synchronizes, and analyzes information from every operational layer — tower (ground and air), approach, and en-route.
It combines high-resolution surveillance data and controller screen video in a single platform, accessible securely from any browser for instant post-operational insight and safety review.
Multi-Source Data Capture and Replay
Bravo5 ingests radar, terrestrial or satellite ADS-B, and other surveillance feeds in near-real time or upon delayed upload. Its data-agnostic design lets ANSPs replay any traffic situation with precise timing, adjustable playback, and detailed measurement of distances, interactions, and complexity.
Safety and Performance Metrics
More than ten million daily computations power detailed metrics on conflicts, controller actions, sector load, and performance indicators—delivered through intuitive dashboards for post-operational analysis.
Cross-Domain Operational Insight
From runway occupancy, taxi times, or noise exposure, to holdings, route deviations, complexity metrics, and excess fuel, Bravo5 connects airport surface and air, approach, and en-route domains in one analytical environment.
Secure, Remote Access
Hosted within DataBeacon’s secure cloud, Bravo5 is reachable via simple username and password from any standard web browser, allowing authorized analysts to review and investigate events remotely without additional installations.
Integrated Video Context
In parallel with surveillance data, Bravo5 records what controllers actually see on their screens. Video and data remain perfectly synchronized, enabling accurate reconstruction of both operational events and human-machine interaction.
Safety Events
The Safety Event Reporting dashboard monitors key safety events, such as en-route crossings near the 5NM minima, and links these events directly to the replay tool.
Regulatory Flexibility
Retention settings for data and video—thirty days or longer—can be adapted to specific ATC positions or national frameworks, ensuring consistency with each organization’s compliance requirements.
Follow-up questions
Bravo5 utilizes advanced data processing techniques and algorithms to handle and process large volumes of data from various sources in aviation operations. It employs scalable infrastructure and distributed computing to efficiently manage the data influx. Additionally, it employs data compression and optimization techniques to reduce storage requirements and enhance processing speed. This enables Bravo5 to handle the vast amount of surveillance data in aviation operations and extract valuable insights for post-operational safety analysis.
By leveraging parallelisation and advanced mathematical techniques, we can efficiently calculate the number of aircraft predicted to come within 9 nautical miles of each other, indicating potential interactions. These close encounters require monitoring by Air Traffic Controllers (ATCOs), as they may necessitate intervention, thereby increasing workload. Our primary objective is to assess the complexity of the airspace and evaluate the workload of your air traffic control team in managing it.
Bravo5 automates the collection and aggregation of relevant data, ensuring accuracy and consistency in reporting. Bravo5 also offers features for tracking and documenting safety-related activities, such as incident investigations, risk assessments, and safety audits. This comprehensive data collection and reporting capability simplifies the process of regulatory audits or inspections, allowing our users to efficiently demonstrate their compliance with safety regulations and standards.
