AIR NAVIGATION & AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEMS

One of the main priorities for the national security of any country is a precise control of airspace. Steadily growing number of flights and aircrafts in all regions of planet causes an importance to build new modern air navigation systems and air traffic control systems capable to provide accurate information of air traffic and guarantee the possibility of its efficient control. Air navigation security is an important component of global state security.

CHALLENGES

• Due to lack of equipment, many countries don’t have the technical ability to control their airspace • The high cost of radars and their maintenance is a serious issue for national security

• Possible risk of unauthorized flights through a country’s airspace• High risk of terrorism and smuggling• Control of the security of airports and critical infrastructure

SOLUTION FOR THE AIR NAVIGATION INDUSTRY
