The system is also designed to meet the challenge of providing accurate, reliable surveillance in all weather conditions as a result of multiple surveillance sources.
ASDE-X offers air traffic controllers real-time position and detection data for vehicles and aircraft on the airport surface through multilateration, surface movement radar and automatic dependent surveillance – broadcast (ADS-B).
The system is the foundation for the FAA’s runway status lights (RWSL) programme and is suitable for ADS-B and other next-gen systems.
By 2011, the FAA expects to incorporate ASDE-X at 35 airports.
