Mobile Air Traffic Control Towers - from Host Systems

Introduction

Whether for an emergency, security or temporary airfield/port control, HOST mobile control towers are the solution.

Irrespective of the cause of an ATC failure, this can produce enormous disruption and cost to airports and in certain cases affect regional economies. Our mobile towers can be made operational within an hour by four people therefore minimising disruption and lost revenue.

Being fully mobile and not needing a specialist towing vehicle means the tower can be regularly moved around the airport to minimise the possibility of its location being known to undesirables. Standby ATC facilities, because of the type threat, must be kept away from the main tower to avoid a double hit; this applies to fire risk also.

Each system is bespoke in order to meet precisely the operational requirements of the user; therefore we try to match systems fitted with those in current use at your airport.

The mobility of the system also allows for sharing by several airports and in fact be used as interim ATC during upgrades and refurbishment.

• Communications, navigational aids, weather monitoring and other systems custom fitted to meet operational requirements
• Elevates to 6.5 metres operator seated height
• Up to 4 operator positions
