What help is better radar if less people are manning them? The crux of a tower position is the visual component, IE. looking out the window. Although a remote approach service could be provided, its not so easy for tower. Many large commercial operators will also not operate into an unmanned airfield due to insurance issues, which in the end could negatively affect the local economies.
