ABSTRACT
In this article, we underline the gradual use of satellite and space navigation systems for air traffic management and safety in its introduction. We indicate that the currently used satellite navigation systems, together with advanced technologies, save procurement and operating costs of airports and provide greater flexibility in air traffic control and, of course, safety. The positive facts mentioned in the article are linked to the concept of aviation systems called the “ICAO ATM/CNS Concept”, which ensured that new technologies and systems help eliminate problems in the short period. The ATM/CNS concept environment has its clearly set up interconnected components and a well-ordered logical hierarchy. The second part of this article compares the cost-effectiveness of ATM/CNS, i.e., air traffic control, communications, navigation, and air traffic control between Europe and the United States. Toward the end of this article, we highlight the future of the ATM/CNS concept and the compatibility of FAA and the European Union on how to modernize air traffic management systems through effective common procedures.
