Summarized here is the Federal Aviation Administration's participation in the Demonstration Precision Runway Monitor (Demo PRM) Proof of Performance (POP) test program throughout the early summer of 1990. The system was designed to demonstrate the feasibility of providing faster and more accurate surveillance of aircraft on instrument landing approaches. The system incorporates high resolution displays with specific blunder alarms. The system utilizes a phased array antenna to enable faster update rates than the current rotating antennas. It is hoped that a system with these capabilities will allow an increase in airport runway capacity by allowing simultaneous, independent Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) approaches to parallel runways with less than 4300 feet of separation. The results of the test plan are given.
