The Airport Emergency Awareness Network (AEAN) is designed to immediately alert all involved emergency stakeholders - airport firefighting teams, rescue services, medical centers or any other vital remote notification points as well as to simultaneously inform all relevant agencies and emergency operation centers. According to the ICAO Doc 9137, the Emergency Notification System is an essential element of the emergency alerting chain.

It provides first responder notifications and guidance platforms - complete emergency information including runway of intentions or actual place of occurence, AC type, nature of emergency, POB, dangerous cargo and other necessary information to emergency personnel.

AEAN ensures that the ATCT Controllers are aware that each individual first responder emergency service has received the information and is deploying. This activity is 100% automatic without burdening controllers with additional duties of making multiple calls to relay information.

Every event in the system is recorded and stored for further safety investigation and analysis. Easy-to-use administration interface allows to play back the order of events and responder location as it was changing during the incident.

The AEAN consists of both software and hardware components. They can be mixed and matched to provide the exact functionality and level of automation that is required by the particular installation scenario.
