ITT has provided trusted air traffic control technology, support and systems integration for more than 60 years. We offer unmatched expertise in legacy ATC communications systems and are working with NASA and the FAA to define the future of ATC communications. ITT also provides world-class radar systems for air traffic control including active array systems for both radar and communications. ITT has delivered and supported thousands of radars in 45 countries around the world.
ADS-B: ITT was chosen by the FAA as the lead systems integrator to develop and deploy the Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) system, a key component of the FAA’s program to improve the nation’s air transportation system. ADS-B is to be the FAA’s next generation air transportation system’s primary means of surveillance. It will reduce the dependence on ground- based secondary surveillance radar systems by collecting GPS-derived position reports from aircraft and transmitting the data to ground stations. From there they the information will ultimately be relayed to air traffic control facilities to use for air traffic management.
