lolwut? Cookies with ants on them. I just don't understand how there's a military ATC and a civilian ATC and they aren't sitting in the same room. They should be sitting in the same room.
Why would they sit in the same room? They're managing different airspace. There's over 250 towers, they can't all sit in the same room.
OK, figuratively. From this it seems like there are two (more?) systems that are both sharing airspace that don't know what the other is doing. That's all I mean about "sitting in the same room". Mabye a zoom call?
You say "different airspace" but there's only one airspace. It's the one the planes are flying in.
No, like I said, they're using the same systems, the same software, the same hardware. People at different towers talk to each other on the phone and on the radio, especially during handoffs between airspaces. The computers talk to each other. IIRC the information from one tower's radar is shared with other towers. They're not parallel systems, it's all the same system.
edit: I've been using "airspace" to mean "volume controlled by a tower". There's many airspaces.
OK, I get it. There's FAA and then there's Air Force? Is there also Army and Marines and Navy? Why don't they all combine and make one super Voltron of airspace management?
