ICMS®
Integrated Control and Monitoring System
The ICMS® is a sophisticated Control and Monitoring System designed to automate the integration and management of navigation and lighting aids within an airport environment. Additionally, it features many other “Quality of Life” upgrades, for Air Traffic Controllers (ATC)
A Control & Monitoring Solution, built with controllers in mind
ICMS® accomplishes this automation in a No-Single-Point-of-Failure architecture. This means that any component of ICMS can fail and ICMS will report the loss of that component and will continue to function.
The interface to the remote equipment is accomplished with redundant industrial grade computers, called Concentrators. These Concentrators are linked to numerous ICMS® workstations over dual redundant LANs. They collect status data from the Concentrators and present it to the user in a Graphical User Interface (GUI). All commands sent to the remote equipment and status changes received from the remote equipment are time and date stamped and logged into an Archive File to achieve a “Black Box” on the ground feature.
The installation and use of ICMS® requires no modification to the remote equipment. ICMS® can easily be modified to support any existing and future NAVAIDS equipment. ICMS® can be configured to meet the needs of all airports from small (local and regional) to large international airports.
The ICMS’® features, GUIs, and functionality were developed with input from the end-user, resulting in a system that’s feature rich, and intuitive.
“The ICMS® is a low cost, mission-critical tool that provides significant value to controllers in both safety and efficiency.”

NBP AVIATION INNOVATION®
By automating common tasks, and workflows, ICMS® allows controllers to focus on safety, not equipment.
Due to its No-Single-Point-of-Failure design, a system outage has never been recorded in over 6,000,000 hours.
Real-estate in the cab is premium, and every inch counts. ICMS® consolidates legacy controls, and gives that space back.
Work Smarter, not Harder
Demonstrated Technology
The ICMS® has been successfully operating at some of the nation’s busiest airports since 2001. From ORD to JFK, and from DEN to ATL, these are just a few of the major airports consistently placing their trust in the ICMS® System.
Its modular design is engineered for scalability, ensuring the system evolves alongside the airport it serves. The reliability of ICMS®, coupled with its intuitive user interface and advanced features, positions it as the preferred choice for the expanding needs of today’s airports.
