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.
