President's Message

When we conclusively proved that the TTI WASP System could be an integral support feature for all General Aviation airports, we deemed it perfect timing to make our technology available worldwide.

The hallmark of our system is that it has revolutionized the way airports and law enforcement interact to safeguard airport assets and provide a secure and safe environment for an airports base customers and transients.

Our WASP technology also offers airports a means to account for all aircraft operations which is key for accurate billing (e.g. of airport fees) and providing total aircraft movements to the FAA which can mean funding for airport improvements and maintaining contract control towers. WASP’s aircraft management tools help identify unregistered aircraft, ensure aircraft flight plans are properly closed and aid the airport in tracking VFR aircraft.

Today, we understand that one of the biggest obstacles airports face is financing for almost any improvement project, with surveillance systems falling into that mix.

TTI is sensitive to this issue and we have embarked on ways of becoming part of the solution. We are convinced that our New Stakeholders’ Program will provide financing answers.

Simply put, we want to elicit support from the TSA, the FAA, State DOT Aviation groups and Law Enforcement agencies to help airports fund these surveillance and aircraft management systems.

Our thinking is that each of these groups stands to benefit from a comprehensive surveillance system at GA airports throughout the nation. The TSA wants to see secure airports and aircraft. The FAA wants to see proper reporting on aircraft movements. State DOT officials also want accurate reporting to support funding. Law Enforcement wants an edge up on criminals. The airports themselves want all of the above. If each of these groups helps shoulder the cost of the system, it puts less of a financial strain on the individual airport and everyone reaps the benefits.

Over the next year we will closely watch how this program is received by the general aviation community. We are enthusiastically confident that everyone will be a winner.
