In Argentina air traffic controllers are civilians, but they operate under the management of Air Force.
This year, the Argentine Government decided to retire to the Air Force this competence over the air traffic.
It was required to ICAO to assist in preparing the transference of competence, missions and functions of civil aviation.

In Argentina, since 2003, there is a system interconecting 6 radars, 5 in Argentina and 1 in Uruguay (Carrasco). The system has been provided by Lockheed Martin, Rhode & Schwarz and Frequentis. The system is able to follow an airplane entering Argentina from the North bound. This system, named Skyline, processes the information received from the 6 radars and integrates it in a platform.
