SUMMARY OF TOWER RADAR PROJECT AT KWIA
· April 29, 1999 - I sent a letter to the FAA Southern Region stating our problem in obtaining tower
radar and asked for their assistance.
· June 18, 1999 - Received a response from FAA stating that "The needfor a control tower radar
display is well documented, and wefind that KWIA does indeed meet the established minimum
requirements for the installation of a DBRlTE, which is the display system utilized at FAA facilities.
However, there are no DBRlTE systems available, and there is currently a prioritized waiting list of
about 40 A TCTs to receive this equipment...... '" .... If you wish to obtain information regarding the
establishment of a non-federal radar at EYW, please contact Mr. Lennox Goodridge. "
· April 30, 1999 - In a related event, the KWIA Tower Chief sent a memorandum to NAS Key West
requesting that KWIA be provided with a radar feed from the Navy's ASR-8 radar.
· July 12, 1999 - NAS Key West responded to the KWIA Tower Chief stating that "The Commanding
Officer has agreed to allow KWIA to receive radarfeedfrom the ASR-8 radar site to your airport. The
Staff Judge Advocate will begin drqfting a Memorandum of Understanding outlining costs,
installation, and any other specifics deemed necessary.
· July 16, 1999 - I sent a letter to Mr. Goodridge outlining the contents of the letters exchanged with
FAA Southern Region and requested that he "provide information regarding the procedure to
establish and procure a non-federal radar in the airport A TCT. "
· September 13, 1999 - An e-mail was sent from ASO-500CC (Bill Wagner) to ASO-400CC
(Goodridge) stating that "The most economical method to fulfill the EYW request for radar in the EYW
A TCT would be to utilize the Key West Long Range Radar (ARSR-4) signal..... The Airport Authority
would probably need to enter into an agreement with the Joint Radar Planning Group (JRPG) FOR
THE USE OF THIS DATA. If they are successful in obtaining the data. a TRACS could be utilized to
display the data in the tower..... This is all we can do for EYW until the Navy upgrades to an ASR-ll at
NAS Key West (est 2004). Even though the Navy has offered their ASR-8 data, it can't be used without
a digitizer which could cost up to ten times the estimated up from cost of the TRACS. "
· October 7, 1999 - I sent a letter to Mr. Dennis Koehler to follow up the recommendation contained
in the above e-mail concerning the JRPG. We requested that he take the necessary action to obtain our
access to the ARSR-4 data via approval from the JRPG.
· October 22, 1999 - Mr. Koehler responded to my letter stating that "ASO-472 has placed the matter
on the Joint Radar Planning Group's November meeting agenda".
· TECHNICAL DISCUSSION: The reason for the various discussions between the radar sources and
the radar display is caused by type of radar data to be used. All present radar displays are digital
models, except for the very old equipment used by the Navy. The two sources of radar data are also
different: the ASR-8 from the Navy is an analog system and the ARSR-4 is a digital system. You
must mate a digital display with a digital radar system or else you have to use a digitizer system to
convert an analog signal to a digital display. The biggest problem is that a digitizer system is quite
expensive.
· Early December - I received a call from Bill Wagner advising that the JRPG had deferred action on
our request for access to the ARSR-4 signal. The JRPG decided that since there was a new FAA Order
coming out in early 2000 revising the methodology for applying for access, that they would wait until
this Order became effective. At that time, they thought that this new Order would simplifY the process
and would be effective in the January or February time frame.
· December 13, 1999 - I received a call from Bill Wagner. He advised that the publication of the new
FAA Order discussed above would probably slip to Mayor June. He also advised that the JRPG
expected that they would be swamped with new applications for use of radar systems and that the
approval process would probably become very slow. He further advised (non-attributable, please) that
he had heard that the JRPG would probably not act favorably to our request (reasons not stated).
· December 22, 1999 - Received a FAX from Bill Wagner reflecting that EYW had been placed on
the "Candidate Facilities of Tower Displays" list. This is the list of airports designated as being
candidates for FAA purchased, installed and maintained radar systems. While we were added to the
FAA list, we were not assigned a priority number or sequence.

Dear Mr. Sands:
This is in response to your letter dated April 29, 1999, concerning a request for a
control tower radar display for the Key West International Airport Traffic Control
Tower (EYW).
The need for a control tower radar display is well documented, and we find that Key
West International does indeed meet the established minimum requirements for the
installation of a Digital Bright Radar Indicator Tower Equipment (DB RITE), which is
the display system utilized at FAA facilities. However, there are no DB RITE systems
available, and there is currently a prioritized waiting list of about 40 airport traffic
control towers to receive this equipment.
Additionally, to ensure that the DBRITE will operate properly, radar information
supplied by an Airport Surveillance Radar (ASR) is mandatory. Presently, the agency
does not have an ASR in close proximity to the Key West International Airport, and we
would have no means available to obtain such information.
If you wish to obtain information regarding the establishment of a non-federal radar
display at EYW, please contact Me Lennox Goodridge, Airway Facilities Branch,
Technical Evaluation Section, Non-Federal Facilities Coordinator, at (404) 305-6343.

Dear Mr. Horton:
Re: Design, Acquire, and Install Radar A TCT - EYW
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is in receipt of Mr. Mil Reisert's
memorandum of April 29, 2000 regarding the above referenced project. The memo
indicated that Key West International Airport would like to include this project in its next
Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) application, and was requesting an eligibility
determination.
Upon conferring with the Airports Regional Office in Atlanta, I spoke with Mr. Reisert
and informed him that because it is an Air Traffic item, it would not be eligible for AlP or
PFC funding.
If you have any questions, or require additional information, please call me at (407)

In 1974 the Air Traffic Control Tower at Key West International Airport was
commissioned. In that year, approximately 52,000 air operations were recorded and
97,000 passengers were processed through the airport. At that time, aircraft arriving and
departing the airport were controlled by using a radio and binoculars. In 1998, the airport
conducted approximately 120,000 air operations with 528,574 passengers passing
through the airport. While we have experienced extraordinary growth in both aircraft
operations and passengers passing through the tenninal, our aircraft control equipment
remains a radio and binoculars!
Our Control Tower is in desperate need of a radar display in order to safely and
efficiently control and monitor the growing traffic at Key West International Airport. We
have documented our problem with the Regional Administrator, FAA Southern Region in
April of this year and her response acknowledged that the need for a control tower radar
display was well documented. However, the Administrator continue that an acceptable
radar system was not available and there was already a prioritized waiting list of about 40
airport traffic control towers waiting to receive such equipment.
Subsequent to our contact with the Regional Administrator, we have been
informed that the FAA has identified a new and acceptable radar system and plans are
being formulated to provide this equipment to the needy airports. We have also been
informed that Key West International has been added to the FAA's list of "Candidate
Facilities for Tower Displays".
I t would now appear that the equipment has been identified, our need has been
documented, and we have been added to the priority list. Unfortunately, none of the
foregoing assures the timely implementation of the program nor does it prioritize our
position on the "waiting list".
Key West International desperately needs this tower radar display to assure the
continued safe control of aircraft at the airport. We are requesting your assistance in
convincing the Federal Aviation Administration that this installation should be a priority
issue and that the equipment should be made available to this airport at the earliest
possible time.

· COMMENT: It would now appear that our efforts to gain access to the ARSR-4 signal have met a
stone wall. We are left with two courses of action: (I) wait for a FAA system to be installed or (2)
press on with the concept of using the ASR-8 system and pay for the digitizer and all the associated
systems.
· December 27, 1999 - To pursue the option ofa FAA system, we sent a letter to Congressman
Deutsch requesting his assistance in "convincing the FAA that this installation should be a priority
issue and that the equipment should be made available to this airport at the earliest possible time. "
· In the interim, we plan to continue to explore the possibility of an off-the-shelf-system that can work
with the ASR-8 system. One possible candidate producer has been identified by Bill Wagner. A
company called Sensis produces this system. We will also discuss this concept with Greiner.
· December 29,1999 - FAXed a copy of this sheet to Mil Reisert along with the data concerning the
Sensis system. We discussed the best way to proceed at this time and we agreed that the first action
would be for him to contact Sensis and gain some more information from them concerning the system
cost and whether or not their system was an approved FAA system. After that, Mil would coordinate
with Mr. Goodridge to see where we should go next.
· January 6, 2000 - Discussed the Sensis system with Mr. Dave Mall from Sensis. He gave a
breakdown of what the system was like and what it took. He stated that for the system to work, we
would have to make arrangements to install the digitizer in the Navy facility in order to transmit the
radar data over to our tower. We talked about the installation and he advised that he had a "ball-park"
figure of about $60,000 for the entire hardware/software package. I asked him ifhe could provide me
with a shopping list and include all of the costing figures for a turnkey operation. My feeling is that
the whole thing will probably run about $80,000.
· January 7, 2000 - Discussed the above with Mil Reisert. He advised that Dave Mall was planning on a
trip down here the week of Jan 17 to show us his equipment. I asked Mil to contact Lennox and check
with him to make sure that the Sensis system was a FAA approved non-federal system. lfit is, then we
can continue to explore this option. However, ifit turns out that the Sensis system is not approved,
then we'd better just abandon this approach and look elsewhere. We also discussed the fimding
situation. He said that he didn't think that the FAA would allow us to use AlP even though Southern
Region had already validated our need. We agreed that if this were the case, we'd again have to look
for legislative support and pressure to get the FAA to provide fimding.
· January 7, 2000 - Discussed the subject again with Mil. He had called FAA to see if the Sensis
system was an approved system. He Called Lennox, but was passed on to Mr. Bill Cauldwell (sp).
Mr. Cauldwell advised him that he thought that the Sensis system was approved by the FAA since it
was being installed in other tower facilities. Mil was going to retouch base with Dave Mall and ask
him if they had any hard copy proof that their system was approved by FAA. As presently planned,
Dave Mall is planning to visit down here in the 26, 27, 28 Jan time frame. I will have to have J.D.
make arrangements with the Navy for him to get access to the ASR-8 signal to give us a demonstration
of his equipment.
· January 7, 2000 - Discussed the above with J.D. at 1445. He says that part of the agreement he has
with the Navy for access to the ASR-8 includes the installation of the digitizer at NAS. They know
this and they have no problem with the concept. He will also make the necessary arrangements to get
us access to NAS to conduct the demonstration of the Sensis system the end of January.
· February 10,2000 - Visit from Mr. David A. Moll (Sensis Corp) and Mil Reisert from Greiner.
Purpose of the visit was for Sensis to display their radar system. System, including the digitizer and
display system, was set up at Boca Chica using their ASR-8 radar and beacon data. The system only
displays beacon information, but J.D. viewed the display and pronounced it highly desirable. At the
same visit to NAS, we discovered that they already have a digitizer installed as part of their system.
As a result of this revelation, we have decided on a course of action. First, J.D. will accomplish liaison
with the Navy to determine if there's a possibility for us to use info from NAS by directly plugging
into their digitizer. If they say yes, then we will have Mr. Moll get in touch with the NAS Ground
Electronics people to determine if we can plug into their digitizer and to determine if the output from
the digitizer is compatible with the Sensis display system. Ifwe can get access to the Navy digitizer
and if the signal is compatible, then we will proceed with efforts to simply buy a display system.
However, if the signal is not available or if the systems are not compatible, then we will proceed with
measures to buy the complete system from Sensis. In any event, the follow-on process will involve a
...,
letter to FAA describing the system and either telling them or asking them if it is an approved system
and determining whether or not it is authorized for installation in the tower. Then we will have to
explore all of the possibilities concerning how we will go about funding the purchase. As an added
part of the total radar package, we will offer the Navy a free installation of a system testing and
analysis system for them to use at their end of the connection. This is something we can offer to them,
at a rather reasonable cost, as an incentive to continue the negotiations and arrangements to use their
signal and install our equipment in their facility. More to come.
· February 11,2000 - During the General Airport Meeting, the decision was made that we will not
pursue the option of using the Navy's digitizer. Instead we will press on with the plan to buy and
install the total system offered by Sensis.
· February 15, 2000 - Spoke with Dave Moll this morning. Informed him of our decision and asked that
he provide us with the system descriptions and diagrams needed to proceed with the project. He will
provide us with the necessary information to develop a Memorandum of Agreement with the Navy so
we can proceed with getting access to their signal and installing the equipment in their spaces
necessary to make the system operate. Now we await the technical information from Mr. Moll. Then
we will proceed with the negotiations with the Navy and forward a copy to Mil Reisert so he can start
his discussions with the FAA for approval of the system.
· February 15,2000 - Spoke with J.D. about the coordination with the Navy. They are telling him that
COMNA V AIRLANT has already approved our access to the signal, but they need a MOA between the
airport and the Navy to describe the equipment that we propose to install and how much space it will
take. J.D. has already spoken to the head at Ground Electronics as NAS and wants me to talk to him
about how to proceed with the MOA.
· February 15, 2000 - 1500, spoke with Master Chief Jim Crowley of Ground Electronics at NAS. He
says there's another person at NAS that handles the preparation of all MOAs at NAS. He doesn't have
a name or phone number for that person yet but will call me back and let me know whom to contact.
· NEVER HEARD AGAIN FROM MASTER CIllEF CROWLEY!!
· March 15, 2000 - 0900, spoke with Yolanda Mingo at NAS. She seems to be the one that does the
drafting of any needed MODs. Have prepared a letter to her outlining exactly what we are looking for.
Delivered same to her afternoon this date.
· March 20, 2000 - Received an e-mail from Henry Dorsey, SENSIS, he sent me another copy of the
picture of the display system. Already had this. He also said that he was sending the technical info
that we needed to go to FAA. E-mailed him back and told him I only received the picture and nothing
else.
· March 22, 2000 - Received another e-mail from Henry Dorsey, SENSIS, he included a document
providing a "thumb-nail" description of the system. Don't know if this is enough to go to the FAA
with but I FAXed it to Mil Reisert and asked him to take a look and see if this was all he needed and if
he needed more, to contact SENSIS and let them know what else he needs.
· April 7, 2000 - Spoke with Yolanda Mingo at NAS concerning the MOD. She stated that the draft
was working its way through all the appropriate departments. She expects that the Commanding
Officer will sign the MOD early next week.
· April 7, 2000 - Spoke with Dave Moll from SENSIS. He stated that they were ready to FAX us a
copy of the price quote for the radar system. He thinks the price will come in at around $80,000.
· April 12, 2000 - Received e-mail from Henry Dorsey at SENSIS. He provided us with a price quote
for the total system. Price comes in at $79,835.00. FAXed same to Mil Reisert and we will discuss.
· April 18, 2000 - Received a FAX from Greiner dated April 11, 2000 indicating that the FAA would
impose no objection to the installation of the SENSIS equipment in the tower.
· April 19, 2000 - Attempted to contact Yolanda Mingo at NAS by phone on April 18 and bye-mail this
date to see ifshe could provide us with an update on the status of the Navy MOD concerning access to
the ASR-8 radar signal. Have still received no reply.
· April 19, 2000 - Sent an e-mail to Henry Dorsey at SENSIS advising him that we accepted his
proposal (with a few modifications) and asked him to provide us with a clean contract document that
we could take to the BOCC on May 17, 2000.
· April 24, 2000 - Received an e-mail from Yolanda Mingo stating that she had made a few minor
modifications to the MOD and had resubmitted it this morning for review and signature. She says she
will call when it's ready for pickup.
'2
· April 26, 2000 - Picked up executed copy of the MOl] between Naval Air Station, Key West and Key
West International Airport. The MOU was signed by Capt. Johnson on 25 April 2000 and by the
airport on 26 April 2000.

customer, or where Sensis equipment serial numbers have been removed or altered without prior written approval of Sensis.
4. The terms of payment are those specifically quoted to the Buyer in writing. Unless otherwise specified, payment must be made for all
partial deliveries according to the terms of the individual billings. The payment term begins with the date of the invoice. In the event the
Buyer fails to fulfill the terms of payment, or in case Sensis shall have any doubt at any time as to the Buyer's financial responsibility,
Sensis may decline to make further deliveries.
5. Buyer is responsible for the ultimate payment of all taxes including stamp charges, licenses, duties, and governmental exactions by
whatever name, which may be assessed or levied on or on account of the products sold hereunder.

practice. In cases where no bona-fide manual exists a technical specification sheet or product description will be supplied to the Buyer.
9. Inspection reports and test results will not be provided by Sensis for items ordered, unless specifically agreed to by Sensis, or unless
such reports are normally issued by Sensis for the equipment in question as standard commercial practice.
10. Upon request, Sensis will endeavor to furnish such technical advice or assistance as it has available in reference to the use of its product
