FIRST IN THE WORLD TO INTRODUCE REMOTE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL
NEW TECHNOLOGY CREATES
GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES
Saab is the first company in the world to supply a remote air traffic control
system, which will be installed at the Sundsvall and Örnsköldsvik airports
in Sweden.
“This represents a paradigm shift for air traffic control. It is fantastic that we are
the first in the world to offer this. It demonstrates our ability to bring the industry
and users together to create change in a global operating environment,” said
Per Ahl, sales manager for Saab’s air traffic control solutions.
Basically, remote air traffic control uses cameras and sensors installed
around an airport. Everything they record is linked in real time to the air traffic
control centre and projected onto a 360-degree view. The controller there
monitors and guides air traffic just as he would if he were sitting in a normal
air traffic control tower.
The system is scheduled to be installed and tested in 2011 before being placed
in operation later in the year or in 2012. At that point, air traffic in Sundsvall and
Örnsköldsvik will be controlled from a single control centre in Sundsvall.
FIRST IN THE WORLD TO OFFER REMOTE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL
Traffic control is more efficient with Remotely Operated Towers.
