The task of the Air Traffic Control (ATC) is to optimize the use of air space and to avoid collision among aerial vehicles. Air space can be defined as a set of infinite number of planes, direction, routes etc. The existing ATC system can to maximizing the use of available air space but the human involvement at various stages limits it capability. The NextGen [1] vision of air traffic control system proposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) mainly focuses on automation of various aspects of ATC system and minimizing human intervention to improve efficiency and performance. We envision that in the future it will be required to eliminate the location specific (airport based) takeoff and landing. Lightweight Aircraft should be allowed to take off from any location and be allowed to land anywhere. We consider the future requirements and present a novel automated air traffic control and collision avoidance system in this paper. In this paper we introduce a unique scheme of synchronization among aerial vehicles and air traffic control systems. It helps to obtain unique route for each flight to minimize the conflict but if it is not possible to find a unique route then the scheme provides an optimized solution that efficiently uses shared resources such as runways, navaids [2] etc. We also present a new conflict resolution and collision avoidance technique using self synchronization among aerial vehicles without the help from ATC.
