The paper deals with the issue of Local Departure Control System (further only DCS) and its application in the airport environment. The authors submit their own DCS system solution supported by the Slovak Research and Development Agency under the contract no. VEGA-15-0527. The aim of the project was to design and then implement a solution that would meet the highest criteria of reliability, safety, and usability of the proposed solution in the field of its deployment. The primary target groups are local carriers, airlines, and airports operating in Slovakia with a special focus on regional low-cost companies and charter companies. Within the implementation of the project, algorithms of provided functions and activities of individual software modules were designed. Subsequently, the DCS hardware elements were optimally dimensioned, programmed, tested and tuned for the correct application code for the DCS system modules, as well as for CKI, Gate and PNL terminals.
