Mobile Air Traffic Control Systems Ltd

Rapid Deployment are certainly the buzz words in all Military Forces presently, the capability to rapidly establish an airborne infrastructure is an essential part of strategies laid down by Joint Armed Forces worldwide.
The Mobile Visual Control Room (MVCR) or Mobile Air Traffic Control Tower is an integral part of any Joint Armed Forces Aerospace Surveillance and Battle Space Management System. The requirement of an operational airbase is essential to all operations in-theatre very early in any conflict and therefore the equipment used must reflect the requirements of urgency and the possible lack of lifting equipment or specialised vehicles for deployment.

Rapid Deployable ATC Towers

The trailer mounted system is designd specifically for rapid and simple deployment.

The Mobile Air Traffic Control Systems ATC tower is transportable by C-130, C-17 and has undertaken live trials with Chinook helicopter, and can be deployed by 2-4 personnel in an hour. All equipment needed to deploy is carried within the unit and there is no additional lifting equipment necessary.
Mobile Air Traffic Control Systems designed their tower to be trailer mounted so that it can be towed by various unspecified vehicles and removes the single point of failure of a truck-mounted system.

Mobile Elevating Towers

The tower elevates to 7m operator seated height and allows for 3 operators plus 1 supervisor position. The internal fit is designed specifically to meet the precise operational requirements of the end user but be flexible in terms of upgrades and/or additional equipment requirements to cope with local operating conditions.

All Terrain Truck Mounted ATC

MATC introduced their new 6x6 All Terrain Mobile Air Traffic Control Tower at the World ATM Congress in Madrid 4-6 March 2014. Described as a “game changer in tactical military ATC operations” the 6 wheel drive Mercedes mounted system had a lot of interest. Designed in principal for Middle East and Asian operators, the unit is autonomous with an in-built generator, automatic levelling and an operator height of 7.5 metres and is delivered plug and play. It features an automatic tyre deflation and inflation system to cope with wheel slip on sand or wet conditions whilst maintaining a fast on-road speed enabling quick location and relocation. The cabin is the same as the trailer mounted unit.

Added to this MATC introduced a new Compact ATC Cabin that can be towed and positioned by any four wheel drive. This is aimed at smaller strips and airfields where elevation is not required, it is equipped to the same ATC standard as the other models and has an onboard generator and fuel tank.
