AIR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, USE OF AIR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD OF ESTABLISHING AN IP-BASED AIR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to an air traffic management (ATM) system (10) for monitoring an airspace (12). The ATM system (10) comprises an IP-based voice communication system (16) and a direction finding system (18). The ATM system (10) comprises at least one radio base station (20) for voice communication between a pilot and a controller. The radio base station (20) has an IP interface (34) via which the radio base station (20) is connected to the IP-based voice communication system (16). The direction finding system (18) has at least one reception radio (46) and an IP interface (32) via which the direction finding system (18) is connected to the IP-based voice communication system (16). The voice communication system (16) and the direction finding system (18) are configured to communicate with each other. The direction finding system (18) is configured to receive and process control signals issued by the voice communication system (16). Further, the use of the ATM system (10) and a method of establishing an IP-based ATM system (10) are described.
