New Tower

The IAA have completed trials of remote tower technology and they seem happy with the results.

Given that one of the requirements for the operation of the imminent northern runway at DUB is a new, higher tower, subject to regulatory approval/change, might this prove to be an alternative to a new tower, with instead a sensor suite installed above or alongside the existing tower building? It would allow staff to remain in the current facility at the airport, all be it upgraded to use the systems, with the technology being used to extend the view to the currently obscured parts of the field.

Just a thought.
