The Airport Movement Area Safety System (AMASS) is a ground traffic control advisory system. It tracks aircraft and other surface targets using data from two available sensors; the airport surface radar, and the terminal surveillance radar. The system stores an adaptive data base that defines the airport geography and traffic rules. AMASS algorithms use the airport configuration data base and aircraft track files to test for nearly one thousand hazards. AMASS issues audible warnings, and displays the location of the aircraft involved on existing monitors. This paper describes system operation, technology, and future enhancements. Preproduction system testing and validation at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is also described. The preproduction program was funded by the United States Federal Aviation Association (FAA).<>
