Raytheon to enhance Air Traffic Management Systems in India

Raytheon Company has been awarded a contract by the Airports Authority of India to automate air traffic control services at the Chennai International. Raytheon will install AutoTrac III, its next-generation air traffic management system, to help reduce delays in aircraft arrival and departure. The new system will also have real-time meteorological information to assist air traffic controllers in adjusting to changing weather conditions.

In addition to the Chennai International Airport, Raytheon is upgrading air traffic management systems at the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai and at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi. AutoTrac III features a new generation of flight and surveillance data processing systems to ensure air traffic safety. The system’s modern, open architecture design and high performance is fully adaptable and scaleable to fit any air traffic management environment from simple tower automation to a fully integrated multi-centre system.
