KR-20260064308-A - SERVER AND METHOD FOR MANAGING AIR TRAFFIC

Abstract

The present invention relates to a server and a method for managing air traffic using a commercial communication network, comprising: a communication module that communicates with an aircraft and a control unit using a commercial communication network; a storage module that registers an aircraft identification code obtained from a control unit; and a processor that analyzes data received from an aircraft and a control unit to generate control data. The processor receives a communication connection request for transmitting and receiving flight data for at least one aircraft, identifies the aircraft using an aircraft identification code, communicates with the aircraft and a control unit responsible for controlling the aircraft using a commercial communication network, receives flight data from the aircraft at a preset interval, and monitors the aircraft using the flight data.
