ACAMS at Airspace World 2026: ACAMS I-TWR : Integrated Tower Operations. Secure, Scalable and Open.

I-TWR integrates a wide range of applications into a single, homogeneous working environment. This unified Human-Machine Interface (HMI) not only simplifies operations but directly contributes to improved safety and reduced workload for controllers.

ACAMS’ Integrated Tower solution (I-TWR) has long been a cornerstone of tower operations, providing air traffic controllers with a unified environment where most critical systems -monitoring, control and information – are brought together into one coherent interface. Designed to eliminate the fragmentation of multiple independent systems, I-TWR enables controllers to operate more efficiently, safely and with full situational awareness across all tower functions.

At its core, I-TWR integrates a wide range of applications covering airfield lighting, navaids, meteorological data, ATIS, surveillance, emergency systems and technical monitoring into a single, homogeneous working environment.  This unified Human-Machine Interface (HMI) not only simplifies operations but directly contributes to improved safety and reduced workload for controllers.

A Proven Solution, Now Evolving to the Next Generation

While I-TWR has established itself as a reliable and widely deployed solution, it is now undergoing the same transformation as other ACAMS products, moving toward a modern, service-based and API-driven architecture.

This evolution is not about replacing what works, but about enhancing it. The new generation of I-TWR builds on its proven integration capabilities while introducing a platform that is:

  • More open and standardized
  • More scalable and flexible in deployment
  • Better aligned with modern cybersecurity requirements

This ensures that I-TWR remains relevant not only for today’s tower environments, but also for future concepts such as digital and remote towers.

Technology That Simplifies Complexity

Tower environments are inherently complex, combining systems from multiple vendors, generations and technologies. I-TWR addresses this by combining a modular architecture with a homogeneous operator environment, ensuring that all subsystems behave as one.

Key technological characteristics include:

  • Unified HMI across all systems, reducing operational complexity
  • Modular architecture, allowing tailored configurations per airport
  • Fault-tolerant core platform, ensuring high availability for safety-critical systems
  • Common data logging engine, enabling full traceability of system and user actions

The result is a system that simplifies operations without compromising on functionality or safety.

Innovation Meets Integration Expertise

What truly differentiates I-TWR is the same principle highlighted in the ACAMS technology strategy: innovation must work in real-world environments.

The new generation of I-TWR combines:

  • Modern technologies (services-oriented, APIs, scalable architectures)
  • With deep expertise in integrating legacy systems

This means I-TWR can:

  • Interface with older, mission-critical systems still in operation
  • Integrate new digital applications seamlessly
  • Support gradual modernization without disrupting operations

Rather than forcing a full system replacement, ACAMS enables a controlled evolution of the tower environment.

Cybersecurity, Scalability and Openness by Design

The transition to modern architecture brings clear operational advantages:

  • Enhanced cybersecurity
    • Based on modern, open environments enabling faster updates and system hardening
    • Supports deployment within customer-controlled infrastructure
  • Scalability and flexibility
    • Adaptable from single towers to complex multi-site or remote tower operations
    • Easily expandable as operational needs grow
  • Open integration approach
    • Standardized APIs enable interoperability with third-party systems
    • Customers are not locked into proprietary environments

A Platform for the Future of Tower Operations

As air traffic management evolves toward increased digitalization and remote operations, the role of the tower is changing. I-TWR is positioned as a central integration platform in this transition.

It not only consolidates information but also supports:

  • Improved situational awareness
  • Faster and more informed decision-making
  • Integration of new technologies such as AI-driven decision support

At the same time, its modular and adaptable design ensures that airports and ANSPs can evolve at their own pace, without compromising safety or operational continuity.
