Air Traffic Control (ATCALS) Division
Electro-Optic/Night Vision Division
Our Mission:
The mission of ATCALS is to perform overhaul, repair, modification, testing, and installation in support of combat forces for the safe, orderly, expeditious launch and recovery of aircraft throughout delegated airspace in the United States, as well as, host nation assigned airspace throughout the world. Air Traffic Control And Landing (ATCAL) services must be provided in all weather conditions to military and civil aircraft. We utilize advanced testing and repair capabilities to support fixed-base facilities, which provide service at CONUS and overseas bases, and to support mobile equipment which provide similar capabilities in support of theater tactical combat operations and combat airspace management.
