Saab Unveils Deployable Digital Tower
Saab, along with industry partner Conlog Oy, recently launched a modular, secure and quick-to-deploy digital tower (r-TWR) for flexible, air traffic control missions.
At a time when threats to permanent airbases are increasingly realistic, air forces are looking to expeditionary or remote air operations to provide resilience. To answer this, the r-TWR Deployable provides high availability, mission-to-mission modularity and flexibility.
It is mission ready within an hour and can be operated remotely from a secure location at a base or connected to a centralised facility hundreds of miles away, keeping military personnel safe. Some of these features can also serve a purpose for international aid missions for the rapid deployment of such infrastructure into a country damaged by natural disasters.
The r-TWR Deployable includes everything needed for air traffic management at an established or temporary landing strip and can be transported by road or rail on one or two standardised trailers, or in a cargo aircraft of C-130 Hercules size.
The r-TWR Deployable can be integrated with various Saab capabilities. This includes TactiCall Voice Communication System for safe and cyber secure communications, Giraffe 1X lightweight multi-mission surveillance radar with Drone Tracker capability, Sirius Compact passive surveillance for tactical applications and Barracuda camouflage for a reduced multispectral signature.
