Remote digital towers
Adrián Belánik: “The easy attack of air traffic control towers represents a significant strategic moment. Digital innovations based on increased automation, data connectivity and data fusion at air bases provide a solution in the form of remote digital towers. "
Inefficient and insufficient air traffic control (ATC) staffing, operations with limited visibility, vulnerabilities of conventional ATC towers, as well as new challenges, such as non-cooperative drones, require modernisation of military air traffic management (ATM). In addition, air forces need to embrace digital innovations driven by increased automation, connectivity and data fusion at air bases.
A remote digital tower replicates the visual tower view to provide ATC services from remote locations, thus improving operations and enhancing safety. It adds new operational capabilities for a number of military use cases in ATM and beyond to ensure accomplishment of different types of missions.
