ICAO Doc 10057 establishes strict requirements for NAVAIDS training, emphasizing taxonomy Level 3 and above, meaning applied learning through simulation and hands-on exercises is essential.

Reliable communication (COM) systems are the backbone of Air Traffic Control (ATC), ensuring seamless interaction between pilots, controllers, and ATSEP personnel. These systems encompass VHF, UHF, HF, voice-over-IP (VoIP), and data-link technologies, all essential for safe and efficient air traffic management.

Surveillance (SUR) is the backbone of modern Air Traffic Control (ATC), providing real-time situational awareness to controllers. It includes Primary Surveillance Radar (PSR), Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR), ADS-B, and multilateration (MLAT). These technologies ensure safe airspace management by tracking aircraft positions, verifying identification, and maintaining operational efficiency.

Air Traffic Safety Electronics Personnel (ATSEP) play a critical role in ensuring the seamless operation of aviation infrastructure. Their training must comply with ICAO Doc 10057, which mandates high taxonomy levels (typically Level 3 and above) for applied learning. Many traditional training programs fail to meet these requirements, focusing on theoretical instruction rather than practical, hands-on experience.

Aviation academies and universities require advanced educational tools to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience in communication systems, radar technologies, and signal processing. SkyRadar’s FreeScopes Basic III and IV provide a comprehensive learning platform that enables students to engage with key principles of primary and secondary radar, signal modulation, and antenna theory, supporting both academic curricula and qualification programs such as ICAO Doc 10057 and EC 2017/373.

Air traffic control (ATC) is the backbone of modern aviation, ensuring safety, efficiency, and seamless coordination in increasingly crowded skies. As AI reshapes the landscape of radar systems, ATC academies must adapt their training programs to prepare Air Traffic Safety Electronics Personnel (ATSEP) for the challenges and opportunities ahead. The FreeScopes Environment offers a comprehensive AI training solution designed to future-proof ATC operations.

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Air Traffic Management (ATM) is rapidly transforming the way airspace is monitored, optimized, and secured. However, for AI to be effectively implemented in ATC (Air Traffic Control) and ATSEP (Air Traffic Safety Electronics Personnel) operations, a centralized data and cloud architecture is essential.
