Concept

  • In the RETINA concept, controllers will be no longer limited by what the human eye can physically see out of the tower windows.

  • As trust in digital data will continue to grow, RETINA’s concept will allow the controller to have a head-up view of the airport traffic even in low visibility conditions similar to the synthetic vision currently used in the cockpit.

  • RETINA will build upon the technologies developed in SESAR, such as remote tower, safety nets, SWIM, to provide augment reality tools for the tower controller.
