DataBeacon has today announced the Launch of Bravo5,and advanced replay and post-operational safety tool designed for Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) and airports.
On Tuesday (May 13, 2025), DataBeacon, a leading innovator in air traffic operations, announced the launch of Bravo5, an advanced replay and post-operational safety tool designed for Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) and airports. Built on the proven Victor5 platform, Bravo5 sets a new standard for analyzing the safety and efficiency of past operational data for ANSPs. It features an ATC-grade user interface and advanced algorithms, delivering over 10 million computations of traffic interactions daily. This computational power provides visibility into traffic situations such as metrics on traffic requiring ATC intervention, time to conflict detection, controller actions, sector-specific classifications and comprehensive dashboards for airspace management performance.
In Tuesday’s announcement, DataBeacon’s CEO, David Perez, said,
“Safety is paramount at DataBeacon, and we are dedicated to achieving this goal while prioritizing cost-effectiveness for our customers. With Bravo5, we deliver reliable and trusted traffic feeds that minimize infrastructure investments for ANSPs and airports, allowing them to fully leverage new surveillance technologies. By harnessing massive surveillance data, our solutions offer a unique value proposition that sets us apart from traditional legacy technologies, facilitating daily monitoring of airspace safety. We take great pride in our contribution to aviation safety.”
In addition to dashboards, Bravo5 offers a powerful online replay tool that enables users to revisit any historical moment with high fidelity, measure distances between aircraft, and analyze traffic complexity—all from a web browser, without the need for operational room access or video recordings. The Safety Event Reporting dashboard monitors key safety events, such as enroute crossings near the 5NM minima, and links these events directly to the replay tool. This provides both historical trends and actionable insights into complexity and safety scenarios.
Austrian Air Navigation Service Provider Austro Control is utilizing various innovative solutions developed by DataBeacon to enhance its metrics and gain deeper insights into airspace performance.
Bravo5 integrates seamlessly with all types of surveillance data, including native radar and ADS-B sources, merging them into a sophisticated ATC interface. In a significant enhancement for general aviation safety, Bravo5 now supports the integration of FLARM data from gliders and light aircraft. This new capability enables users to seamlessly replay and analyze glider movements alongside other airspace traffic, providing a comprehensive view of all airborne operations. By incorporating FLARM’s position and trajectory data, Bravo5 empowers ANSPs and airports to better monitor, investigate, and understand interactions involving gliders—further strengthening post-operational analysis and safety oversight for all airspace users.
Hosted securely in DataBeacon’s cloud infrastructure, Bravo5 is accessible via any standard web browser. By leveraging your existing surveillance data and advanced analytics, Bravo5 uncovers hidden safety risks and highlights areas for improvement.
DataBeacon is a leading innovator in air traffic operations, employing a human-centric approach to seamlessly integrate data and machine learning. Our cutting-edge technology is founded on the principles of reliability, scalability, and maintainability, guaranteeing exceptional performance standards. Our forthcoming products will herald a new era in aviation, introducing advanced features and functionalities that will revolutionize the provision of aviation products and services for air navigation service providers and airports.
