Airservices Australia has contracted Sensis to provide a surface movement surveillance system at Perth Airport in Western Australia.
Sensis says in a statement that Perth will be the fourth airport in Australia to receive its Advanced - Surface Movement Guidance and Control System, or A-SMGCS. Two years ago it announced a contract covering A-SMGCS installations at Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney airports.
"Sensis A-SMGCS uses the most advanced multilateration, surface movement radar and conflict prevention and alerting technology available to provide air traffic controllers with improved situational awareness," says Sensis Air Traffic Systems VP and general manager Tony Lo Brutto.
"The controllers at Perth will now have the tools to enhance runway safety and work more efficiently with the other major airports in the Australian national air traffic system."
The system gathers data from multiple surveillance sources at an airport including multilateration, radar and vehicle locator systems.
