Air Traffic Solutions
In recent years, air traffic growth, advancements in aerospace technologies, and rapidly evolving market dynamics have significantly changed the operational environment of aviation. Now more than ever, aircraft operators and Air Navigation Service Providers face increasing pressure to improve fuel efficiency, on-time performance, operational resilience and passenger experience. To keep up with this demand during a period of significant change, many legacy Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems are constrained by fragmented architectures and design assumptions from earlier operating models.
Introducing the AutoTrac Common Automation Platform for Air Traffic Control (ATC)
Serving as a digital backbone for airspace operations across all domains, AutoTrac is a state-of-the-art common automation platform, replacing the fragmented ATC automation systems of yesterday into a unified ecosystem with a single architecture.
AutoTrac is an all-in-one solution that facilitates strategic air traffic flow management and enhances tactical ATC services. By utilizing shared data, timelines and intent, it enables all aviation stakeholders to effectively plan, execute and adapt together.

Key Capabilities of AutoTrac
Structured information sharing across stakeholders and integrated systems to reduce reactive ad-hoc coordination and streamline proactive strategic decision-making.
Unification of flight data, timelines and intent to increase stakeholder situational awareness and operational alignment.
Continuous monitoring and assessment of airspace system constraints and performance, enabling early identification of emerging issues and improved responsiveness.
An open, microservices-based architecture makes it easier to integrate and automate new airspace capabilities, helping air traffic control teams move from concept to production faster.
Integrates data from various surveillance sources like radar and ADS-B, offering cohesive flight track information.
Manages and displays crucial flight plans and meteorological data, enhancing situational awareness.
Provides real-time conflict detection and alerts, improving situational awareness.
Optimizes traffic flow in busy airports, reducing delays and improving efficiency.
An open architecture allows for flexible deployment in diverse ATC environments, from small towers to large hubs.
Not just a replacement, an evolution
The AutoTrac common automation platform is built on an open, modular architecture that integrates legacy systems while enabling rapid introduction of new capabilities. It acts as an orchestration layer rather than a monolithic system replacement which is essential for delivering seamless integration, real-time insight and trusted performance for connected airspace systems.
As global air traffic increases and aviation networks become more interconnected, our advanced solutions are engineered for worldwide deployment. We offer intelligent automation, configurable architectures and proven performance across international airspace environments.
Global Deployment and Impact
AutoTrac automation systems are deployed worldwide, benefiting civil and military airfields. Major hubs such as Hong Kong and Mumbai trust AutoTrac III to manage heavy air traffic. Several large nations deploy AutoTrac II extensively in their airspace for military applications.
Why AutoTrac Matters
Air traffic growth that exceeds ATC capacity could contribute to an increase in delays and missed connections. The AutoTrac common automation platform addresses this through modern automated data processing technologies, helping to reduce manual workarounds to allow for an increase in airspace capacity, making it indispensable for modern air traffic control. Its adaptability to new technologies ensures it remains at the forefront of ATM solutions.
