About the Venture

Digital Twin for Airport Tower Control

The Mixed Reality (MR) Digital Twin software system is a pioneering solution designed to enhance airport tower management by providing air traffic controllers with an intuitive, collaborative, and portable tool that significantly improves situational awareness and decision-making. Addressing critical issues like airport congestion, escalating cognitive loads, and the limitations of traditional ATC systems, this technology reduces reliance on verbal communication and allows for remote collaboration and advanced training.

Compared to traditional control towers and Remote Digital Towers (RDTs), the MR system offers superior flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and safety. With a current TRL of 4, the technology is supported by a robust IP portfolio and a prototype validated through extensive testing with licensed air traffic controllers. The technology aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and targets a growing market that includes innovations in air traffic control, valued at USD 8.6 billion in 2023.
