Improving the accuracy of data processing in air traffic control systems in complex situations typical for mountainous areas

This paper states that in areas with difficult terrain – mountainous and foothill regions – natural and man-made factors create additional obstacles to navigation and communication. In such conditions, traditional data processing methods in air traffic control systems often lack sufficient accuracy, which can lead to a reduction in the safety and efficiency of air transport. This paper demonstrates that solving regional radar challenges requires a combination of engineering innovation, algorithmic flexibility, and strategic planning. Real-world examples from international practice confirm that proper technology integration can ensure a high level of air traffic safety and reliability, even in the most challenging topographic conditions. A complex including technical modernization, meteorological adaptation and topographic modeling taking into account the terrain features and technical limitations, an analysis of existing data processing methods applied in mountainous and foothill regions, as well as an analysis of flight conditions in mountainous and foothill regions from the point of view of radar support, emphasizes the need for an approach without which the level of safety in important flight segments can significantly decrease
