Operational tests were performed on the Airport Surface Detection Equipment (ASDE)-3 radar. Three teams of air traffic controllers, two per team, with current field ASDE-2 experience, were used as test subjects. The controllers were from the Eastern and New England Regions. These tests were conducted to determine the extent to which the ASDE-3 met requirements as presented by the Air Traffic Service and what the controllers' opinions were of the radar. Tests conducted were: airport surface coverage, capability, target detection as a function of speed between aircraft and aircraft to obstruction resolution, target size and shape determination, standing target heading, and runway clearance.
