Further to the above; I ought to state that I have less objection to the use of this technology to overcome catastrophic scenarios where the permanent Tower is unavailable. After all, most of the Jersey ATCOs worked with the "assistance" of CCTV (facing the wrong way) for several years after the new terminal was built so as to remove the ability of ATC to actually see the main area of operations (apart from the runway) i.e. the southern apron. So, the experience is there already.
One question. What happens in low vis. conditions ? And we get some VERY frequent low vis! I can't envisage one ATCO doing two ADCs in VI's of 200 meters !
