Discusses a prototype Airport Movement Area Safety System (AMASS) originally designed to receive ASDE-3 and ARTS-IIIA data. These two data sources were applied to safety logic to provide air traffic controllers with conflict alert advisories on arrival and surface targets. The prototype AMASS was enhanced by software and hardware changes to perform multiple sensor data fusion, which provided a complete track and identification picture of the airport movement area. This surface surveillance system, combined with enhanced data links and displays, demonstrated the capability to maintain situational awareness in the tower and cockpit. This paper describes the performance of this surveillance system, as well as the impact of the system to current FAA airport services.
