Tower MicroELITE launches with first deployment at San Bernardino International Airport

Collins Aerospace launched its FAA-approved Tower MicroELITE air-traffic surveillance display, with San Bernardino International Airport becoming the first site to deploy the system for real-time integrated surveillance tracking.

Tower MicroELITE is a compact digital surveillance display derived from Collins Aerospace's FAA-certified Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System. The October 21 company release says San Bernardino International Airport became the first deployment and that FAA System Design Approval as an Airborne Position Reference Tool makes the solution available to eligible FAA Contract Tower airports and privately operated air traffic-control facilities.
