Communications, Navigation and Surveillance, Air Traffic Management

Globecomm designs, engineers, installs and provides lifecycle support for next-generation communications, navigation, surveillance and air traffic management (CNS/ATM) networks. Our expertise helps Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) around the world expand and upgrade their mission-critical systems and improve their overall safety performance.

CNS/ATM networks include satellite in their architecture as a means to connect airports, radar and VHF stations located throughout the country. However, satellite networks may introduce complexity and high costs if not properly designed. Globecomm has pioneered in designing and building CNS/ATM networks with an approach that encodes all radar, ADS-B, VHF, UHF data and voice traffic onto a single platform capable of routing the critical data via both satellite and terrestrial circuits. The result is a highly reliable network with greater efficiency, lower operating costs and more flexibility to adapt to future change.
