Advanced surface surveillance capabilities have been shown to dramatically improve surface safety and aid in situation awareness, but these capabilities cannot be economically justified for small and medium airports. The MITRE Corporation has developed a concept for Low Cost Surface Awareness, built upon the use of commercial-off-the-shelf infrared cameras, computer vision processing, and georeferencing algorithms. The end-to-end solution was prototyped and demonstrated at Teterboro Airport. The demonstration revealed that aircraft and airport operations vehicles can be located on the airport surface with less than 35 feet error.
