Based on the long-term experience in the field of Navigation and Air Traffic Control the Institute of Flight Guidance within the German Aerospace Research Establishment (DLR) is conducting a major effort to develop new solutions, system components and procedures for an integrated Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (SMGCS). In addition to and derived from the work on operational procedures, planning tools and HMI in our institute we are focusing our work on an integrated sensor concept to meet the requirements. SMGCS is to be regarded as an integrated concept that has a clearly defined modular approach to meet the particular requirements of a specific aerodrome. After outlining the conception several years ago a solution for the realization was evaluated in close co-operation with the DFS and the national industry. The objective of DLR research is: (1) to analyze the characteristics and to optimize as far as necessary the sensor candidates (e.g. DGPS, SSR Mode S Multilateration); (2) to evaluate the sensor information integration including data fusion algorithms; (3) to find solutions for the specific SMGCS data exchange problems via RF link; (4) to optimize the whole system loop in order to avoid interference by implementing modules into the system; and (5) to solve airfield operating problems by finding new functions within the SMGCS sensor domain. Although the main goal is the improvement of civil airport traffic, the work meets as well military operation problems. In addition, a lot of knowledge gained in military applications has to be considered. The research activities are funded by the DLR itself. To extend the theoretical and laboratory work to more realistic analysis an Experimental SMGCS is build up at the Braunschweig airport. This ESMGCS has the advantage of being very flexible with respect to the implementation of various subsystems and to tests in a real environment. Braunschweig airport is very suitable for experiments like this due to low traffic density and the available research infrastructure. Part of the ESMGCS will be a test environment that is based on the experiences gained during the MLS competition as well as during the development of the Avionics Flight Test System. Main part of the test environment is a measurement system for computing a reference situation assessment. The backbone of the ESMGCS is a high speed data network on fiber cable basis that connects the peripheral stations around the airfield to the master station. Different sensor subsystems or parts of these will be installed in the peripheral stations. The data fusion and the situation analysis are software processes within the master station. The derived situation information can be handed over to planning tools and to the tower simulator available in the DLR Institute of Flight Guidance.
