Abstract: A heads-up display system that can be configured to display critical information on the glass window wall in an air traffic control tower cab so an air traffic controller can view the information without taking his or her eyes off the runways or movement areas. Multiple input devices communicate critical information to a computer's central processing unit which processes the information, creates a display, and sends it to a display device. The display device creates a substantially transparent image of the critical information on the window wall of an air traffic control tower.
