Air Traffic Services

Air Traffic Control (ATC) software support is a core business area for DISC. In addition, DISC has been involved in international air traffic control for over a decade, performing short and long-term assignments in the United Kingdom and at the Republic of China air traffic center in Taiwan.

Our excellent performance in support of the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Host Computer System has created a manpower pool with over 2,300 man-years of experience. The expertise of our personnel includes flight data processing, radar processing, communications, display, and information systems and management support software.

Communications, Navigation, and Surveillance (CNS) / Air Traffic Management (ATM) is part of the Air Traffic Services capabilities. CNS is staffed with personnel with extensive experience in air traffic Global Positioning System (GPS) and Data Link & Automated Dependent Surveillance (ADS). This expertise, coupled with our extensive background in air traffic computer software maintenance, allows DISC to provide a complete and comprehensive air traffic control (ATC) package.
