Integrated Fixed Towers (IFT)

Integrated Fixed Towers (IFT) are advanced radar systems used in air traffic management. They combine radar and communication equipment in a single, stable structure to monitor aircraft in a specific area continuously. This integration improves tracking accuracy, reduces blind spots, and allows efficient coordination with multiple control centers. IFTs are often situated in remote or challenging locations, providing reliable surveillance without requiring multiple separate systems. Overall, they enhance safety and efficiency in airspace management by offering consistent, real-time data on aircraft positions.
