About Indigenous Air Traffic Management Systems-

• Under this Agreement, BEL and AAI will jointly develop Civil Air Traffic Management System (ATMS) with Advanced-Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (ASMGCS), a complex ground surveillance system that manages air traffic at airports and in Indian Civil Airspace for safe operation of flights from take-off to landing.

• This will reduce AAI’s foreign dependency for procurement of ANS infrastructure. 

• The aim of ATMS with ASMGCS is to provide the air traffic controller with the complete air traffic picture of the coverage area while interacting with Primary/Secondary Radar, Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast(ADS-B),Multilateration System (MLATs), and navigational equipment such as GPS, Instrument Landing System and Doppler Very High Frequency Omni Range. 
• The dual purpose of air traffic control is to ensure safety, maintain separation between multiple aircraft, and efficient management of operations at the airport and Indian airspace. 
• ASMGCS provides routing, guidance and surveillance services to aircraft and vehicles, on the ground, in order to maintain safe surface movement in all weather conditions at the airport.
• It also interfaces with multiple sub-systems including Aeronautical Fixed Telecommunications Network, Airport Operational Database, Airport Collaborative Decision Making and Centralized Air Traffic Flow Management system. 
• The system is used in congested airports and airspaces to serve a large volume of air traffic, including military flights.
• The system comprises multiple, in-house developed technologies, such as Situation Display for Air traffic controller, Surveillance Data Processing, Flight Data Processing, Safety Net and Decision Support, Control & Monitoring Display (CMD), Advanced ASMGCS, etc.
• It helps in increasing capacity with improved safety by reducing controller workload, improving air traffic flow and minimizing flight delays.
