PROAVIA members provide technology and engineering for Air Traffic Management (ATM) and Control (ATC)
Their expertise covers surveillance platforms, radars, navigation aids (ILS, VOR, multilateration), control-tower infrastructure, AWOS weather systems, and time synchronization to ensure safety from departure to arrival.
To tackle air traffic congestion and delays, members leverage advanced air-ground data links, radar image processing, and cybersecurity support. These innovations enhance control efficiency across all flight phases while protecting critical civil aviation installations.
Through a seamless "Gate-to-Gate" approach, PROAVIA aligns civil aviation authorities, ATS providers, and airport operators around high-reliability concepts. This strategy optimizes airspace capacity and guarantees maximum operational safety for airfields.

What does PROAVIA's ATM and meteorology expertise cover?
ATM, Radar & Telecommunications
ATM, ATC, and air-traffic-flow technologies, including radars, ADS-B, surveillance platforms, and navigation aids, backed by strategic consulting for civil aviation authorities from design to operational deployment.
Visual Aids, Airfield Lighting & Power Supply
Integrated visual aids, electrical systems, telecommunications, and innovative drone-based PAPI calibration services that optimize inspection accuracy while minimizing operational impact.
Aeronautical Meteorology
Automated Weather Observing Systems (AWOS) and wind-profiling radars delivering precise, real-time meteorological observations required for safe flight and airport operations.
Counter-UAS & Wildlife Hazard Management
Dedicated protection technologies and operational strategies to safeguard airfield perimeters, monitor low-altitude threats, and prevent wildlife hazards during critical flight phases.
ATC & Airfield Technical Systems
Design and integration of control-tower infrastructure (including modular and temporary facilities), airfield technical installations, and centralized time synchronization across technical systems and passenger displays.
What are the main ATM and airport meteorology challenges?
Modern aviation relies heavily on seamless coordination and resilience. The primary operational and technical challenges faced by air navigation service providers and airport authorities include:
- Maintaining continuous availability of safety-critical systems
- Providing accurate weather and wind information for local conditions
- Integrating new technologies with existing ATM and airport infrastructure
- Protecting operational systems and data against cyber threats
- Synchronising information across ATC, airport and technical systems
- Modernising navigation aids and control facilities without disrupting operations
- Supporting civil aviation authorities and operators throughout the system lifecycle

Frequently asked questions
What is an AWOS?
An Automated Weather Observing System measures and distributes local meteorological information used by airport and flight operations.
Why is precise time synchronisation important at airports?
A common time reference helps ATC, operational, information and technical systems record and coordinate events consistently.
