SSC Atlantic, FAA roll out C-17 compatible, large mobile air traffic control tower

The inside of a newly constructed Large Mobile Air Traffic Control Tower is displayed at the Joint Base Charleston - Weapons Station July 26, 2018, during an inspection with members from Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic and the Federal Aviation Administration. SSC Atlantic worked with the FAA to provide the integration and engineering support for upgrading the LMATCTs due to their extensive background in deployable control centers. The FAA is scheduled to roll out three LMATCT platforms by Fiscal Year 2019, replacing older models originally constructed in the 1990s. The mobile systems are compatible for transport via U.S. Air Force aircraft and will be used to restore ATC capabilities during natural disasters, facility outages or when other permanent systems are out of service for upgrades.
