Advanced Multilateration and Wide Area Cooperative Surveillance Solutions

  • Civil Aviation
  • Airspace management

In air traffic control, safe and accurate surveillance systems are vital for airport surface, precision approach, TMA, and en-route monitoring. By integrating MLAT and WAM, ANSPs benefits of robust and resilient ATC surveillance that meet future traffic demands while enhancing safety and efficiency. These systems help controllers to manage modern air traffic effectively.

  1. Accuracy

    Thales's MLAT and WAM deliver accurate aircraft position, altitude, and identity data with high performance, providing reliable surveillance coverage across surface, terminal, and wide-area airspace.

  2. Scalability

    Thales's MLAT and WAM systems are scalable, leverage existing aircraft transponder signals, need minimal infrastructure modifications, and offer low operational and maintenance costs.

  3. Flexibility

    Thales WAM and MLAT systems offer easy deployment due to adaptable architectures that function standalone or integrate into larger systems, with scalable coverage ranging from surface to wide area.

Our Solutions for Advanced Air Traffic Surveillance

To support air traffic actors in their daily mission of securing the airspace and airport environment from gate to gate. ANSPs face numerous challenges in optimizing air traffic surveillance, including coverage gaps, regulatory pressures, and integration complexities. Addressing these challenges can lead to significant gains, including enhanced accuracy, reliability, and integration capabilities for comprehensive air traffic management. By choosing Thales MLAT/WAM cooperative surveil,ace, ANSPs have a safe ATC surveillance.

Everyday, hundreds of thousands of planes take-off & land around the world with millions of passengers expecting to arrive at their destinations safely, quickly and without delays.
Today, complementary cooperative surveillance solutions such as MLAT and WAM are transforming ATC surveillance, making it possible even in the most challenging environments
