ATRAK
Introducing the MAESTRO Digital Remote Tower solution for airports that demand high performance combined with agile scalability. This next-generation air traffic control system represents a new level of digitalization and flexibility in the provision of air navigation services, enabling operations to be delivered from a centralized location, independent of the physical airport site.
Precision Remote Control for Modern Airspace
Using advanced camera systems, sensors, and digital visualization technologies, MAESTRO Digital Remote Tower allows air traffic controllers to maintain the same — or enhanced — level of situational awareness compared to traditional tower operations.
The solution integrates high efficiency, scalability, and cost-effectiveness with a strong emphasis on safety, supported by advanced digital tools such as AI-assisted tracking and enhanced vision capabilities.
From single-runway airports to complex multi-site control centres, MAESTRO ensures precise management of every movement, delivering Digital Remote Tower excellence for modern airspace management.
Key Advantages:
- Cost Efficiency: Eliminates capital expenditure for tower construction and maintenance; reduces operational costs by centralizing staff and resources
- Flexibility: Controllers can manage multiple airports from a single centre; resources scale with traffic demand
- Modern Working Environment: Attractive, collaborative workspace improves recruitment and staff retention
- Scalability: System grows with airport needs; can support contingency operations during emergencies
- Safety Enhancement: Advanced digital tools, AI-assisted tracking, and enhanced vision (especially night operations) improve safety metrics
- Contingency & Resilience: Centralized control enables rapid backup operations if one facility becomes unavailable
- Future-Ready: Platform for AI integration, automation, and emerging technologies (UTM, autonomous systems)
Design Principles
- Compact Architecture: U-shaped workstation efficiently manages multiple airports from one facility. Scalable camera masts adapt to terrain/weather.
- Adaptability to Any Environment: Engineered for extreme conditions using versatile component selection—from extreme temperatures/winds to humidity and dust. Night-optimized cameras eliminate daylight dependency. Seamlessly integrates with any existing ATM system, supports contingency operations.
- Scalability: Single control centre manages multiple airports at once. Scales easily from one runway to multi-airport setups—no system replacement needed.
- AI Speech Recognition & Communication Analysis: Real-time transcription of controller and pilot communications with procedural alerts enhancing controller situational awareness and safety. Automated detection of procedural deviations or communication errors.
- AI-Enhanced Object Tracking: Machine learning fuses optical + radar data to track aircraft, vehicles, and equipment—detecting beyond-radar objects (small aircraft, ground vehicles). Creates single authoritative tracks with automatic continuity across sensor zones.
