AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL STATIONS
A Stable, Protected, and Integrated Infrastructure for Secure Airspace Management
Air Traffic Control (ATC) stations are critical control centers that ensure the safe takeoff, landing, and route management of aircraft. Radar data, communications systems, flight planning software, and operator consoles operate in an integrated manner.
To ensure secure and uninterrupted operation, these systems require an electromagnetically protected, environmentally resilient, and ergonomically designed operational environment.
MILSHEL shelter solutions provide a secure infrastructure for both fixed and mobile air traffic control operations.
Operational Console and Interior Layout Design
ATC stations typically include the following components:
- Radar display consoles
- Flight planning terminals
- Voice communication systems
- Data recording and monitoring infrastructures
- Redundant server and network equipment
- Power and control panels
MILSHEL shelter design:
- Console layout aligned with operator ergonomics
- Modular rack cabinet systems
- Noise-reducing interior construction
- Optimized cable management infrastructure
to ensure operational efficiency.
Electromagnetic Protection and Signal Security
Air traffic control systems rely on radar, VHF/UHF communications, and data transmission infrastructures. Electromagnetic interference may affect data accuracy and communication quality.
- EMI/RFI-shielded enclosure structure
- Design aligned with Faraday cage principles
- EMC-compliant internal installation
- EMI-filtered power and data input/output modules
- Grounding and lightning protection infrastructure
to support overall system reliability.
Thermal Management and Working Comfort
ATC operators perform long-duration duties. A stable indoor environment is essential for both equipment and personnel.
In MILSHEL Air Traffic Control shelters:
- Precision-controlled HVAC systems
- Redundant cooling options
- Temperature and humidity sensors
- Noise and vibration mitigation solutions
are implemented.
Power Continuity and Redundancy
Within ATC infrastructure, a power interruption creates operational risk.
MILSHEL systems:
- Integrated power distribution panel
- UPS and battery backup
- Generator integration
- Selective redundancy architecture for critical systems
- Overvoltage and overcurrent protection systems
to support uninterrupted airspace management.
