23. AIR TRAFFIC Control Systems
Designed and produced by Lockheed Electronics Company for the
Federal Aviation Administration, the ARTS II air traffic control
system uses Lockheed's LEC 16 minicomputer to process data from
up to 256 aircraft simultaneously and place numbers, letters,
and symbols identifying aircraft and their altitudes on air
traffic controllers' scopes. The system is smaller, simpler, and
less expensive than those employing large computers, reduces the
workload of air traffic controllers, and thus increases air
space safety. |
