Air traffic control (ATC) is a service provided by ground-based controllers who direct aircraft on the ground and through controlled airspace, and can provide advisory services to aircraft in non-controlled airspace.

The primary purpose of ATC worldwide is to prevent collisions, organize and expedite the flow of air traffic, and provide information and other support for pilots.

In some countries, ATC plays a security or defensive role, or is operated by the military.

Meteorology is the interdisciplinary scientific study of the atmosphere.

The study of meteorology dates back millennia, though significant progress in meteorology did not occur until the 18th century.

The 19th century saw modest progress in the field after weather observation networks were formed across broad regions.

Prior attempts at prediction of weather depended on historical data.

It wasn't until after the elucidation of the laws of physics and, more particularly, the development of the computer, allowing for the automated solution of a great many equations that model the weather, in the latter half of the 20th century that significant breakthroughs in weather forecasting were achieved.

A patent (or) is a set of exclusive rights granted by a sovereign state to an inventor or assignee for a limited period of time in exchange for detailed public disclosure of an invention.

Military engineering is loosely defined as the art and practice of designing and building military works and maintaining lines of military transport and communications.

Military engineers are also responsible for logistics behind military tactics.

Modern military engineering differs from civil engineering.

In the 20th and 21st centuries, military engineering also includes other engineering disciplines such as mechanical and electrical engineering techniques.
