MicroTowerAdvanced Air TrafficAdvisory System
The world's first fully autonomous, AI-powered air traffic advisory system. Enterprise-grade capability deployable at any airfield in under 48 hours, at a fraction of traditional infrastructure costs.
Product Overview
MicroTower AATAS is a self-contained, solar/AC powered aviation advisory and weather intelligence unit for uncontrolled airports, helipads, regional airstrips, emergency landing grounds, and future vertiports.
The system listens to CTAF/VHF traffic, evaluates air and ground conditions through integrated sensors, and provides real-time automated pilot advisories with live METAR-grade weather reporting, operating 24/7 without human intervention.
MicroTower AATAS is a Potomac Aviation Technology Corp product, represented by Yoginiyakash Aeronexus for aviation infrastructure programs, deployment planning, and regional market execution.
CTAF / VHF Radio Interface
Listens and transmits over the airport CTAF/VHF frequency so pilots can receive advisories without new cockpit equipment.
AI Decision Engine
Evaluates local traffic, weather, runway usage, and operating conditions to generate timely advisory guidance.
Automated Pilot Advisory
Provides real-time Automated Traffic Advisory System broadcasts for uncontrolled and minimally controlled airfields.
Smart METAR Weather
Generates dynamic METAR-grade weather observations using integrated wind, visibility, pressure, sky, and rain sensors.
Two-Way Pilot Interaction
Supports pilot interaction over CTAF for local advisory requests and operational situational awareness.
Remote Monitoring Bridge
Satellite or internet connectivity enables remote diagnostics, health monitoring, and operational oversight.
Solar / AC Power Flexibility
Operates from dual solar panels with internal battery bank, with continuous AC supply available where infrastructure exists.
Defense-Ready Deployment
Designed for rapid-response aerodromes, border-zone helipads, forward airstrips, and joint-use civil-military operations.
AI Decision Engine
Evaluates traffic, METAR-grade weather, runway usage, and local operating context to determine what pilots need to know in real time.
Integrated Weather Sensor Suite
Measures wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity, dew point, rain, pressure, visibility, and sky condition for aviation weather reporting.
CTAF / VHF Advisory Interface
Listens and transmits to pilots through the local CTAF/VHF channel, supporting automated advisory broadcasts and pilot interaction.
Remote Health Monitoring
Uses satellite or internet connectivity for remote diagnostics, battery monitoring, sensor calibration checks, and system health oversight.
