Air Traffic Control & Navigation Aids
Air Traffic Control & Navigation Aids covers the systems that manage airspace and the ground infrastructure that guides aircraft to the runway: ATC tower consoles and voice-communication systems, primary and secondary surveillance radar, wide-area multilateration and space-based ADS-B, A-SMGCS surface management, and the navigation aids themselves — instrument landing systems, VOR/DME, frangible navaid structures and approach lighting interfaces. Buyers are air navigation service providers, civil aviation authorities and airport operators. Procurement is governed by ICAO Annex 10, EUROCONTROL and the local CAA, with long certification and integration cycles. The GCC's ANSPs and fast-growing greenfield airfields are continuously upgrading surveillance and digital-tower capability, making this a standing procurement line distinct from terminal IT.

- The category spans ATC tower consoles and voice-comms, primary and secondary surveillance radar, wide-area multilateration, space-based ADS-B, A-SMGCS and the navigation aids themselves (ILS, VOR/DME).
- Buyers are ANSPs, civil aviation authorities and airport operators; procurement is governed by ICAO Annex 10 and the local CAA with long certification cycles.
- This is a standing procurement line distinct from terminal IT, kept active by congested, fast-growing Gulf airspace.
