Saab Integrates TactiCall VCS into Remote Tower Solution

(03 Nov 2021) Saab has integrated TactiCall VCS into its Remote Tower solution (r-TWR).

TactiCall VCS provides air traffic controllers with a user-friendly communication interface that delivers enhanced situational awareness, a collaborative working environment and resource sharing across networked and virtualised operation Remote Tower centres.

The integrated communications solution is built on the same successful core technology as other TactiCall solutions, currently in active service with military customers and several civilian applications globally.

“TactiCall will add significant value to our r-TWR product and integrated offer. Voice Communications is a critical component and this will pave the way for increased automation and smart digital solutions,” said Per Ahl, CEO of Saab Digital Air Traffic Solutions (SDATS).

The system will enable Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSP) to address key challenges such as increasing capacity, flexibility, safety and efficiency as well as reduction of operational costs. In addition, it will greatly support adaptation to meet rapid technical evolution and upcoming requirements.

Saab’s IP based system enables full-featured ground-to-air, air-to-ground and ground-to-ground communication, compliant with the latest international ATC standards: EUROCAE ED-136, ED-137C and ED-138 and with its open API, it allows for easy and seamless integration into the overlying platforms, such as Remote Tower.
