Abstract
The overall air traffic control problem is discussed, and a description of various phases of flight and the functional requirements of an air traffic control system is presented. Several 3-D radar solutions to the altitude reporting problems are examined. In addition, special Air Force traffic control problems such as extremely high traffic density, automatic landing, and mobility are described. A current air defense āLā system is compared to an air traffic control system, to illustrate the similarity.
