A digital tower is a concept that allows the provision of aerodrome air traffic services (ATS) from any location using digital means. Instead of relying on visual control rooms and human eyesight, digital tower technologies utilize digital cameras and sensors to capture surveillance of the aerodrome and transmit the images over a digital network to operators who view them on screens. The goal is to provide ATS from a remote location, centralizing resources and enabling more flexible operations.

This article introduces a "reflection power tracking", a statistical method to neutralize range deception. It shows a training implementation in FreeScopes.

In the context of remote air traffic control operations and service virtualization, legal considerations regarding data sovereignty and data regionality come into play.

Voltage fluctuations due to power source errors can disrupt Air Traffic Control (ATC) systems, leading to operational failures, communication issues, and compromised safety. Proper power conditioning and backup systems are essential to mitigate such risks.

Unlocking resilience, efficiency, and interoperability in ANSPs, airports, and airlines through virtualization. This article describes how to optimize resources, enhance security, and drive success.

UPS-related power source errors have a significant impact on ATC, leading to potential disruptions in communication, radar systems, and critical equipment. See the details and learn how SkySMC can be used to train ATSEP on this use case.

The introduction of virtual towers, as defined in EUROCAE Standard ED-240A, and the remote working of Air Traffic Controllers and Air Traffic Safety Electronics Personnel (ATSEPs) will bring a plethora of advantages for ATC. It also requires modern Remote Monitoring and Control Systems and a Specific Skill Set for ATSEP.

Four videos provide a deep insight into SkyRadar's SMC infrastructure and exercises for ATSEP qualification in compliance with EASA's Easy Access Rules for Air Traffic Management.

A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack on Eurocontrol's website has serious consequences, with the potential to disrupt air traffic control across Europe.
