Automated command and dispatch room of air traffic control
Appointment
Automated command and control center (ACACC) of air traffic control (ATC) is designed to service aircraft in the arrival area and landing in the day and night under conditions corresponding to the minimum weather set by the ICAO recommendations.
The applying of modern technologies like satellite navigation systems can improve safety and efficiency of flight operations through the use of algorithms for automated air traffic control in the maneuver and landing on the course.
ACACC Composition
Software allows organize workstations for personal that controls flights and are specialized in the zones of responsibility and belonging - the military (civilian):
- Workstation of the flights leader (Start Manager);
- Workstation of the near zone head (Circle manager);
- Workstation of the landing zone head (Landing Manager);
- Workstation of the far zone leader (Arrival Manager).
Workstations are configured based on the number of screens:
- Two displays – full set;
- One display – an abridged version with retaining all the functions.
Functional tasks of workstations
- Analysis of air and weather conditions;
- Implementation of the planned table;
- Aircraft traffic control in the areas of responsibility;
- Motion control of aircrafts with a failed navigational flight equipment;
- Security means in the motion control of aircrafts in their areas of responsibility;
- Aircraft traffic control in a difficult situations of the air.
- Display the radar information;

- Providing procedural aircraft control in case of failure of sources of radar data:
o Construct the flights plan table;
o Alarm support in case of the departure delays and deviations from the planned table;
o Time calculation when aircraft will appear in aerobatic zone;
o Prediction and fixation checkpoints;
o Signaling of the location of aircraft in the checkpoint at the specified time when aircraft deviates from the established trajectories;
o Calculation of data in case of delays in departure and the installation of a new take-off time;
o Calculation of data in case of acknowledgment pass the checkpoint on the reports of the pilot;
o Calculation of the conflict-of-time release of aircraft in the control points, and you-filled landing, signaling and prediction of possible conflicts;
o Taking into account the implementation of the planned completion of the table cells;
o Preliminary landing aircraft sequencing;
o Fixing the actual time of landing aircraft;
o Transition to a procedural control in the event of radar sources failures;
o Calculation of crews flights for the flights changes;
o Assignment an additional flight in flight operations and flight;
o Report based on the procedural control;
o Form the file to correct the planned flights table.
