The Trade Development Program (TDP) performed a Definitional Mission to assess Chile's air traffic and airspace system and develop requirements for its modernization. Chile is currently pursuing what may be characterized as an on-going air traffic control (ATC) improvement program of rather indefinite dimensions recommended in part by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Their analysis recommended consolidation of Chile's 4 mainland Area Control Centers (ACCs). The recommendation was based on a forecasted savings in operations and maintenance (O&M) costs for maintaining 4 separate enroute facilities. The Government's program calls for eventual automation of its enroute system using sensor data from initially 3, and eventually 10 or more radar sites.
