Технології віддалених веж (RTC) як стратегічний інструмент відновлення регіональних аеропортів України

Abstract

The paper examines the implementation of Remote Tower Control (RTC) technology as a strategic tool for the post-war recovery of Ukraine’s regional aviation infrastructure. The author analyzes the economic and operational advantages of digital towers, including a 50% reduction in commissioning time and the ability to centralize management within a single Remote Tower Centre (RTC). The study highlights the role of high-definition cameras, infrared sensors, and augmented reality in ensuring high-level situational awareness. Special attention is paid to the successful international experience of Norway and Romania as a blueprint for the Ukrainian national air navigation system. The research also addresses critical challenges such as cybersecurity and "digital fatigue" of controllers. The author concludes that the consolidation of ATC resources through RTC is the most efficient path toward the rapid modernization and resilient development of the industry.
