Mobile Operations Tower System (MOTS)

SNC and teammate General Dynamics C4 Systems are developing the US Army's latest rapid-deployment Mobile Operations Tower System (MOTS) that will quickly establish Air Traffic Control (ATC) operations worldwide in all-weather conditions, night or day, for military and civilian aircraft.
The MOTS is a stand alone ATC system with all necessary secure and non-secure communications radios and support equipment. The modular MOTS includes the controllers' shelter, and portable power generator pallet, airfield lighting system, and meteorological sensors. Provisions to remotely command airfield operations, including control of existing airfield lighting systems combine with the MOTS' ease of transport and deployment; from armored vehicles within theater, airlifted by C-130 aircraft or CH-47 helicopter to standard land, sea, and air transportation methods.
The interoperable MOTS is designed to support Military ATC operations and communicate with legacy platforms. The MOTS, meeting both FAA/ICAO regulations, is equally adept in supporting civilian venues, including disaster relief efforts, forest fire mobile ATC operations, and temporary tower operations anywhere in the world with a minimal logistics footprint.
