Memphis Center HistoryThe original Memphis Airway Traffic Control Center was commissioned on January 15,1942, and was located in the old terminal building at the Memphis Municipal Airport.The first complement consisted of 26 control personnel. Controllers did not talk directlyto the pilots so there were no radio channels in the building. To issue clearances,controllers would communicate via Flight Service Stations orairline company radio. The first direct means ofcommunication with pilots, a radio frequency, was installed in1949 and was located in Memphis. Outside the coverage ofthis frequency, controllers continued to use FSS and companyradio.In 1958, Congress, realizing the need for a more modern airtraffic control system, created the Federal Aviation AgencyZME in 1949that took over all operations from the Civil AeronauticsAuthority. Along with this new agency came a new name: Memphis Air Route TrafficControl Center (ZME).On December 5, 1958, Memphis Center had the distinction of becoming the first AirRoute Traffic Control Center to inaugurate radar service with the FAA's second region.The first site was located in Byhalia, MS, and remoted to the Center by microwave link.A second radar site was commissioned on March 20, 1961. The antenna for this system islocated near Joelton, TN. Today, Memphis Center uses 11 radar sites to provide radarcoverage over its entire area and long gone are the days of, "ATC Clears.” Each sectornow has radio contact with all users.In 1958, Memphis Center was selected for installation of the IBM 858 Cardatypemachine. This actually was a programmable accounting machine, which would printflight progress strips and make simple calculations as to the estimated time over a fix.From this simple beginning began the era of automation for air traffic control.19
The FAA was planning for a modern ATC system that wouldinclude the use of computers. This necessitated a fourth moveto 3229 Democrat Rd. on the northeast corner of the MemphisInternational Airport. Dedication of this new facility was May5, 1962, and it was one of standard design that which 20 werebuilt around the country.ZME present location 1962In November 1972, MemphisCenter commissioned its new computer system, the IBM9020. This system, would prepare all flight progress strips,store flight plans, and pass revisions to flight plans betweencontrollers within the facility and to adjacent facilities.On September 16, 1974 Memphis Center commissioned itsradar data processing (RDP) system. This broughtautomation into the radar realm of the controller. The entireradar display was computer generated.Control room 1965On November 19, 1987, Memphis Center commissioned the HOST computer system.This new computer replaced the 9020 and allows the growth needed to meet theautomation needs for ATC.In 1996 Memphis Center commissioned its Voice Switching Control System (VSCS ) toreplace the aging Western Electric 300 switching system ( WECO 300 ). This state of theart communication system replaced thousands of manually operated switches andcountless amounts of wire with "touch screen" monitors and computers.1997 brought more new technology into the control room. Thermal printers replaced theaging (and quite noisy) 9 pin printers. Controllers were no longer required to "tear" flightdata strips before inserting them into the strip holders. Construction was started on thenew DSR (Display Service Replacement) control room.20
In 1998, Memphis Center became a test facility for URET(User Request Evaluation Tool), a prototype computer systemdesigned to aid and alert the controller to possible conflictsand help plan resolutions, thus relieving them from the task ofdoing a "traffic search" on flight data strips. URET wasdeployed nationwide in the next few years.ZME todayIn 1999, the move was made to theDSR control room. All the hardware and software was newand up to date and required extensive training for allcontrollers and supervisors. In 2005, Reduced VerticalSeparation Minima was implemented nationwide allowingmore capacity in the same amount of airspace. The next majorchange will be the implementation of ERAM, the replacementfor the HOST computer.Control room todayEntrance21
