  • Central processor unit (CPU) of P3D multilateration systems (“ERA”, Czech).
  • Voice data recording digital system “Smart-T” (“Peleng”, Russia).
  • ATIS with speech synthesis (YETRI CJSC, Armenia)

The  ''Galaxy'' ATM System has the following main advantages:

  • No Limitation in Geographical Dimensions of the Processed Area:
  • All Calculations are carried out in 3D Space + Time,
  • Support of WGS-84 Model of the Earth.

Integrated Processing of 

  • Surveillance Data,
  • Flight Plan Data,
  • Meteorological Data,
  • Aeronautical Data (static & dynamic),
