Air Traffic Control Systems

Air Traffic Control (ATC) systems are coordinated networks of technology and personnel that ensure the safe and efficient movement of aircraft in the skies and on the ground. They use radar, radio communication, and computer systems to monitor aircraft positions, guide pilots during takeoff, landing, and enroute phases, and prevent collisions. Control towers, enroute centers, and approach facilities work together to manage traffic flow, provide instructions, and respond to emergencies. These systems rely on real-time data and trained specialists to maintain safety, optimize routing, and handle increasing air travel demands.
