Military and civil air traffic control authorities are currently faced with the problem that air traffic volume has drastically increased and comprehensive data exchange and communication are a standard requirement. A modern air traffic control (ATC) radar system has therefore to meet the following requirements: High system availability, and a long lifecycle; Easy maintainability based on modularity, component commonality and advanced self test capabilities; Low life-cycle costs; Outstanding, reliable radar detection performance, even under adverse weather conditions; High target resolution and high range and bearing accuracy; Target identification by means of Mode S Monopulse Secondary Surveillance Radar; Advanced weather and bird migration detection capabilities; Non-verbal communication capabilities; Must fit in an integrated flight control system; Must ensure interoperability and data transfer via standardized interfaces and data links; Compliance with EUROCONTROL/ICAO standards; Modern, ergonomic ATC controller working positions; Comprehensive remote control and monitoring system.
