Specific examples from the firm’s automation solutions include the Automated Advanced Air Traffic Control System (AAATCS). It provides precise control of statuses and airside flow, manages aircraft sequencing to junctions and runways, assigns taxi routes, and adjusts flow conditions. AAATCS also offers real-time Wake and braking action reporting – directly to pilots aboard the aircraft, along with air-ground bi-directional communication system that both significantly reduces controller workloads and mitigates the safety risks, errors and miscommunications.
Complementing AAATCS, the Wake and Turbulence Advisory System (WATAS) optimizes for capacity while enhances safety by providing optimal timing between runway operations. WATASsupports all global wake models and includes a countdown timer for both controllers and pilots for faster responses, situational awareness, and information such as winds, runway conditions, and braking action.
For airside safety, IATAS has developed the zero-incursion – Airside Safety Unmanned Surveillance System (ASUSS) that automatically marshals unauthorized or high-risk aircraft movements, and the Drone Operation Verification and Emergency Response (DROVER) system that autonomously communicates with drones to keep them out of designated paths, without damages.
In addition to these, IATAS provides the Network Contingency and Remote Backup Center (NCRBC), a contingency and backup platform at SMGCS Level 4 that can remotely manage multiple airports, including the vehicles, ensuring compliance with local and international regulations.
The Visual Clearance Delivery (VICAD) solution further enhances the efficiency of the clearance delivery, lowering gate turnaround times and providing immediate pushbacks, without ATC clearance at the gate. VICAD is part of (GATSS) the Global ATFM Synchronization Platform, allowing all aviation stakeholders to synchronize in on traffic, many hours ahead, vital to operational planning for airports, airlines and ANSP’s.
(GATES) autonomously optimizes and orchestrates gate-related operations, including gate assignments. By synchronizing both assets and personnel, gate turnaround times are optimized, while maximizing operational efficiency.
Furthermore, IATAS has an array of stand-alone safety and operational solutions, including the Airside Dynamic Airport Moving Map (ADAMS), which enhances airport personnel and pilot situational awareness and safety, and the Airport Vehicles Capacity Optimization and Management System (AVCOMS) that optimizes maintenance scheduling while runways and critical areas remain operational.
Lastly, all of IATAS solutions include an optional 1click-audit, providing a regulator-ready audit report in just a few hours, saving months of auditing tasks.

A word from the IATAS President
We are honored to receive both Airport Technology Excellence Awards for Innovation and Safety. Since the inception of IATAS, we have placed innovation and safety as the foundation to our future success and trust with the industry. You can view the special session with ICAO member states.
It is clear that post-COVID operations require a shift in thinking, especially in the areas of faster and higher monetization and ROI, lower impact from disruptions, lower risks, move to OPEX model instead of CAPEX, and lower environmental impact.
After 2 decades of research, development and rigorous internal processes for creating innovative and safety related aviation solutions, our solutions are ready for global deployment as either turnkey or tailor-made solutions. Our solutions provide a long list of benefits for airports, ANSP’s, regulators and airline operators.
