Core Capabilities

What the Platform Does

A single secure web-based system supporting airport operations, planning, security, and federal mission requirements.

Real-Time Monitoring

Continuous visibility into aircraft and drone activity across every deployed airport - accessible from any location via a secure web-based interface.

Historical Aviation Dataset

One of the industry's most comprehensive historical aviation datasets, enabling trend analysis, performance measurement, and long-term evidence-based decisions.

Operational Intelligence

Transforms complex aviation data into actionable intelligence - a clear picture of what is happening now and what has happened over time.

Planning & Capital Support

Supports master planning efforts, justifies capital improvement projects, evaluates infrastructure utilization, and provides the data foundation for growth decisions.

UAS & Drone Awareness

Supports Remote ID drone detection and state and federal BVLOS UAS programs - extending operational awareness beyond manned aircraft.

Government & Security Missions

Supports national security, law enforcement, military, and DHS missions focused on airspace protection and critical infrastructure security.

Use Cases

How Organizations Use Virtower

From day-to-day airport operations to long-range capital planning and national security missions, the platform serves a broad range of government and aviation requirements.

System Planning & Capital Decisions

Accurate, consistent operations data gives airport managers and state agencies a defensible basis for planning decisions — including runway condition management, capacity analysis, and infrastructure prioritization.

Federal & State Funding Justification

Virtower data has been used to support project justifications for federal and state funding across multiple states, providing the evidence base needed to justify capital projects.

FAA 5010 Submissions

Virtower produces FAA 5010-compliant operations reports directly from collected data, removing the need for manual estimation or sponsor self-reporting.

After-Hours Activity Capture

Virtower runs continuously, capturing all operations regardless of time — ensuring that activity outside normal business hours is counted and reported accurately.

Validation of Sponsor-Reported Activity

Virtower provides an independent data source for cross-checking locally reported figures and identifying discrepancies that warrant further review.

Noise Abatement & Community Response

Reconstruct the specific flight path associated with a complaint — including aircraft identity, altitude, speed, and time — quickly and without manual record retrieval.

Accident & Incident Investigation

Historical track data can reconstruct aircraft movements surrounding an incident — including position, altitude, speed, direction, and surface interactions.

Legislative & Policy Support

State aviation agencies have used Virtower data to respond to legislative inquiries and executive-level questions about airport activity and program justification.

Part 150 Studies

Flight track exports in KML and KMZ format are directly usable in noise analysis software and GIS platforms for FAR Part 150 studies.

Airport Preservation

Where airports have faced legislative or community pressure, Virtower's operations data provides factual, current evidence of actual airport activity and community utilization.
