Civil Radar Towers in Australia use TAAATS which has electronic strips. We also use paper strips so effectively run dual systems.

Paper strips are used for recording times and are relayed between controllers as there is only 1 paper strip per flight.

Electronic strips are used for relaying information to other parties, eg APP/DEP including level (CFL), DRWY.

Not all the Civil Radar Towers do it the same way, some use Traffic Management Windows to display data, some use the system SID to relay the clearance that has been sissued to the aircraft.

Some Towers have a Maestro display.
