Nowadays the Remote Control Tower (hereafter RTWR) appears as a piece of modern ATM (Air Traffic Management) technology in many European countries, including Hungary. After a successful validation process at a medium‐sized civilian aerodrome called Liszt Ferenc, co-operation began between HungaroControl1 and the Hungarian Ministry of Defence concerning the introduction of the RTWR in the military environment. The author makes an attempt to determine the safety and the security aspects of RTWR in the military environment, its specifications for the handling of military.
