Atom™ is an ICAO compliant, operational Air Traffic Control (ATC) system. It can be used in almost any ATC environment and is scalable to any size requirement. It can be configured to run at a single airport, or to a nation-wide scale to automate all airports and center facilities and to an international scale to perform automatic coordination, hand offs and Air Traffic Management (ATM) across international boundaries.

A key feature, unlike many other systems, is that Atom™ is made up of highly integrated components that share the same real-time flight information to support numerous time-critical operational and financial applications at the airport, Area Control Center (ACC) and elsewhere. Atom™ can also be interfaced to existing legacy systems with standards-based or custom interfaces.

Atom™ smoothes the real-time distribution of flight data from ATC/ATM to other critical departments and to passengers. It specifically minimizes the awkward, time consuming and error-prone manual paper and telephone exchanges of flight information that is so common among ATC/ATM, airport operations and airlines.

Using off-the-shelf PCs and networks, Atom™ provides a large and powerful set of software features in a small technological footprint that is easy to acquire, train and manage.

The Atom™ Advantage

Atom™ provides affordable, high quality ICAO compliant automation for ATC and ATM and then shares that information with airport and airline operations and business users in real-time

Features - Flight Information

Benefits

Improve safety. By smoothing access to current and accurate flight data to improve the ATC function at the same time to reducing controller workload involved in non-control functions.

Optimize controller work activities. Atom™ automates and eliminates many of the routine but complex functions that controllers often must do, thus freeing them for actual control tasks to provide better service to airspace users.

Increase capacity. By eliminating redundant and clerical operations, the professional staff is able to focus better on control work and granting user requests.

Improve airspace and airport revenue. Atom™ carefully monitors and records every aircraft that penetrates your airspace and lands and departs the airport. Real-time access to complete flight data allows billing for actual services used that may be too complex to capture in a manual system. When all users are paying their fair share, fee increases may be delayed or avoided.

Develop previously lost sources of revenue. At the time of flight plan filing, Atom™ at the ACC can identify airlines or aircraft without pre-existing CAA revenue accounts. Before arrival, the en route fee is automatically calculated from the updated flight plan and sent as a message to the Cooperating Airport and collected with the airport fees before departure.

Potentially self-funding. For many authorities, the increases in revenues alone will more than pay for the Atom™ system, plus additional recovery allowed based on improved services and reductions in cost growth in the face of expanding traffic.

Improve productivity. Atom™ provides an unprecedented level of real time integration among all of the various flight data producers and consumers. No more lost or delayed information.

State of the art. Atom™ is a modern, flexible system without question the most fully integrated advanced Flight Data System in the world.

Future proof. Our support contract agreement means that the system you buy today will not be obsolete as soon as you start to use it. We guarantee continued ICAO compliance of the functions you use, as the policies change, and will replace the system’s hardware typically every three years - you can use the well maintained PCs for other purposes.
