RAF Akrotiri and RAF Lossiemouth: Air Traffic Control

The Lossiemouth Programme team has completed a programme of thorough research into potential suppliers of Digital Air Traffic Control (ATC) systems and understand the required regulatory assurance processes for the Military Aviation Authority. The programme is now proceeding to its second formal investment approval gate prior to commencing commercial action to invite industry to tender for this programme. The forthcoming approval will also seek a decision of the best value proposition to provide the infrastructure and advanced building design that will also be required.

For RAF Akrotiri, a wider infrastructure project to deliver a new Headquarters building has commenced which will include provision for a Digital ATC Control Room. This is aiming to complete construction by early next decade. The Akrotiri project team are working closely with the Lossiemouth project team to ensure that opportunities to align procurement of new Digital ATC equipment are understood.
