The AFSBw performs the specialist tasks of military air traffic control for the armed forces in Germany and is the basic authority for military air traffic control, i.e. also for the interests of the foreign armed forces stationed in Germany.

Civil-military integration of air traffic control

While according to the provisions of the departmental agreement between the Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Development and the Federal Ministry of Defense, the "local" military air traffic control remains in the purely military hands, the "regional" military air traffic control is in the peace of the DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH ( DFS) in Langen . This means that air traffic control of military aircraft at and in the vicinity of military airfields is carried out exclusively by active soldiers, whereas soldiers are on leave to contribute military expertise to the DFS and there (in addition to managing civilian air traffic) also to control military ones Aircraft in the entire airspace are responsible.

Location

The headquarters of the Bundeswehr Air Traffic Control Office (AFSBw) was the barracks in the Industriehof in the Bockenheim district of Frankfurt .

The air traffic control sectors (FSSkt) are located in Beek (in the Netherlands, FSSkt Maastricht), Bremen , Karlsruhe , Erding and Langen .
