Toshiba's Air Traffic Control Systems are designed to meet the needs of domestic and international airports anywhere in the world. Long years of experience have honed our capabilities in systematic operations that assure aircraft safety, and brought us an active role in installing and upgrading a wide range of electronic systems at airports and along air routes. The digital technologies employed in our advanced air traffic control equipment, comprising a radar display console and a communication unit, push up levels of performance and reliability while achieving enhanced cost-effectiveness. To date, we have supplied over 200 sets worldwide, 80 of them overseas.

Toshiba is privileged to play an active role not just as a manufacturer, but also as a system integrator, able to supply high quality electronic systems for airports on a turnkey basis. A significant example here is our supply of an integrated air traffic control system to Tribhuvan International Airport, Katmandu, Nepal, in 1996. This extended system includes radar for detecting air traffic in the vicinity of the airport, data processing system for processing radar-derived target information, and a radar simulator system designed for training centers.

Air navigation aid systems are indispensable tools for bringing safety to civil aviation and airports. Toshiba offers the reassurance that can only come from many years of experience in supplying a wide range of systems and equipment to a large number of countries. The company follows a simple but effective approach: use the latest technological advances to produce the most reliable air navigation aid systems. System configurations place equipment at airports and in the surrounding area and provide aircraft with accurate heading information. Integration of cutting-edge technology achieves high performance equipment that combines high operational reliability and maintainability with low cost.

Toshiba's VHF omni-directional radio range (VOR) offers the consistent, high-level stability essential for safe airport operation. Pilots receive all necessary information and accurate navigation, free of any ambiguity, regardless of weather conditions.
Hundreds of systems installed in Japan and beyond, in Thailand, Korea, the Philippines and elsewhere, assure the safety of thousands of flights every day.
