Surface Movement Radar (SMR)
Airport operators must monitor the movement on the ground of both aircraft and vehicles; this is to ensure the safety of people and assets, and to make sure correct route information is provided. Surface movement surveillance also underpins any advanced surface movement guidance and control system (A-SMGCS).
Navtech airport surface movement radar
Navtech Radar’s innovative airport SMR sensors automatically detect and track the location and movement of objects with great precision, in all weather and light conditions and in extreme temperatures. It provides extremely high-resolution imaging and tracks the movement of unlimited objectives simultaneously.
You can use these compact and robust sensors to create a distributed sensor network across the airfield; this provides 100% coverage of all areas and maximum reliability, with no single point of failure. The distributed network is flexible, with minimal structural requirements, so it can accommodate a changing airfield infrastructure.
Our surface movement radar can be installed as a stand-alone, non-cooperative sensor for detecting and tracking aircraft and vehicles integrated with the ERIS-ATM system.
How does Navtech’s airport surface movement radar work?
- Works in all weather and light conditions
- Ideal for complex, busy sites
- All levels of light, from darkness to sun glare
- Accurate data for air traffic control
How does Navtech’s airport surface movement radar work?
Surface movement radar detects vehicles and aircraft and tracks their movement on the surface of the airport. Navtech's sensors are integrated with ERA a.s.' advanced ERIS software (Air Traffic Management system), providing high resolution data for accurate surface movement detection.
- Wide-area airport surveillance
- Vehicle and aircraft monitoring
- Accurate data for air traffic control
- All weather detection and sensing
- Routing information to pilots and vehicles
