ENAV validation campaign on Multiple Remote Tower & Remote Tower Centre (SESAR Solution PJ.05-W2-35)

The SESAR Solution PJ.05-W2-35 consists of support functionalities in the multiple remote tower module, in order to allow flexible allocation of airports controlled from one module by one air traffic control officer (ATCO). It also offers the remote tower centre (RTC) supervisor support tools to assist in the task of allocating ATCOs and aerodromes in an RTC.

Speech recognition for air traffic control towers

As part of the SESAR project “Digital Technologies for Tower” (PJ05-W2-97 DTT), DLR, AustroControl, and Oro Navigacija validated an assistant-based speech recognition system to support controllers working in future multiple remote tower centres. The system transforms controller speech into text and then extracts air traffic control (ATC) concepts such as call signs and commands to automatically maintain electronic flight strips and to highlight relevant recognized ATC concepts.
