1. A distributed radar data processing system configured to generate and supply data to air traffic control by processing radar data obtained from a radar device, comprising:
a plurality of data buses configured to transfer a plurality of types of data, each data bus transferring one of the plurality of types of data, the types of data including the radar data obtained from the radar device and the data supplied to the air traffic control, the data buses defining a plurality of hierarchical layers;
a plurality of application units configured to store applications distributed and allocated to each of the hierarchical layers defined by the data buses, and each application unit connected to two of the data buses defining a particular layer, the layers adapted to perform predetermined functions including processing the radar data from the radar device and generating the data supplied to the air traffic control; and
a distribution and integration interface configured to control a connection between the plurality of applications.
