The i-acs Advanced Surface Movement Guidance & Control System provides routing, guidance, surveillance and control of all aircraft and affected vehicles within the airport vicinity. The A-SMGCS is built around several of the i-acs modules and is interfaced to external systems such as AMAN, DMAN, CDM NET, Gate System, Airport Lighting, Radar, IR Sensors, ADS, etc.

The different data sources are processed in real time and fused into a general view or displayed in user-defined information layers containing preferred data for routing, guidance, surveillance and control.

The processed data can be distributed to Airport and ATM stakeholders via a network or data link to provide better situational awareness and support a high safety level. The external cooperative surveillance technologies such as Radar, GNSS and Multilateration are combined in a Data Fusion process and tracked in the Multi Sensor Tracker.

The tracks are correlated with flight plan data and displayed as definable symbols with connected dynamic labels over map layers. All targets are checked in the safety-net database process for any alert situation such as runway incursion, probability of collision, proximity to restricted areas, etc.
