In the area of air traffic management, Thales in the U.S. has a long history of success in developing and deploying national airspace system infrastructure. Nearly all ground-based instrument landing systems in place at U.S. airports today are Thales systems. Operated out of Shawnee, Kansas, Thales’s air traffic management business will continue to build upon its success in ground-based air traffic control in the coming years as a member of the ITT-led industry team that will be working with the FAA to modernize the U.S. air traffic management system. Thales’s innovation in the space continues to include and will grow beyond conventional NAVAIDS to the areas of ground navigation, airport automation, air traffic control, surveillance, satellite navigation and avionics.
