REMOTE TOWER
LFV received approval from the Swedish Transport Agency
in 2014 to remotely operate Örnsköldsvik Airport from
Sundsvall using Saab’s Remote Tower (RT). This made
Örnsköldsvik the world’s first RT airport. The decision proves
that the concept and technology meet the aviation industry’s
and government’s traffic management requirements.
The RT system uses cameras, microphones and other
sensors to re-create the environment where the air traffic
controller would normally be, i.e., the local control tower.
The information is sent in real time to the air traffic centre in
Sundsvall, 150 km away, where air traffic controllers have full
control over sensors, lighting, flight data and other tools in
the same way they would if they were on site.
RT combines new and existing technology with appro-
ved processes in a new application. The system meets all
air traffic safety regulations and leads to increased safety,
higher efficiency and lower costs. RT’s approval for use
in Örnsköldsvik is expected to pave the way for other air
traffic services and aviation authorities around the world to
follow suit and seek approval for remotely controlled traffic
management.
The system, which is continuously updated with security-
enhancing functionality, is seeing great interest in markets
around the world.
