Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (A-SMGCS)

Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (A-SMGCS) is a technology used at airports to improve the safety and efficiency of aircraft movement on the ground. It integrates radar, cameras, and vehicle tracking to monitor all aircraft, vehicles, and personnel on the tarmac in real-time. This data helps controllers guide aircraft safely, prevent collisions, reduce delays, and manage congestion, especially in busy or challenging conditions. Essentially, A-SMGCS acts as an intelligent traffic control system for airport surfaces, enhancing situational awareness and operational accuracy.
