New technology surge offsets slower sales of legacy equipment

摘要

The Jane's annual survey of air traffic control (ATC) equipment reflects continued growth in digital communications, automation, and new surveillance solutions. Sales recorded by legacy sectors such as primary and secondary surveillance radar and ground-based navigational aids remained largely unchanged or slightly below the previous year. The emerging market for remote tower technology accelerated over the year, with equipment contracts in Asia, Europe, and the US. Similarly, space-based Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) surveillance secured further service delivery contracts and the satellite-based augmentation market continued to expand.
