Automation in Air Traffic Control 
Introduction 
The idea of controlling air traffic is considered effective to help address the challenges faced in 
the aviation sector. These challenges include safety and lack of systematic operations during the 
aviation activities. Understanding how to control air traffic is considered relevant to help in the 
entire practice. Automation in air traffic control is a plausible approach and can help in 
separation requirements, reduce chances of accidents and promote performance. 
Automation in Air Traffic Control 
During the research, the paper will be focused on the subject of Air Traffic Control automation 
to help promote performance and increase service delivery. The research study will mainly focus 
on NextGen and utilize automation in the aircraft functioning. The idea is to reduce the 
separation requirements in the aviation practice. When this is done, the study will explore the 
advantages of the automation and how it will help in improving the reliability of the aviation 
practice and ensure the greatest number of people are provided with quality service. The study 
will be a research exploring the practice and how it can be improved in the aviation industry. 
Conclusion 
 This study will be required come up with a research paper on the subject of Automation in Air 
Traffic Control (ATC). Relying on NextGen, the paper will explore how it will utilize 
automation (primarily in 
aircraft) that will reduce separation requirements, thereby increasing capacity while eliminating 
the need for controllers.  With reduced number of controllers and separation, there will be 
reduced costs of operation and promote efficiency. As well, the practice will ensure there is 
constant performance and increase in profitability for the organizations relying on automation in 
their air traffic control.
