The system developed under Airfield Ground Safety (AGS), called the Ground Safety Tracking and Reporting System, uses multisensor data fusion from in-pavement inductive loop sensors to address a critical problem affecting out nation's airports: runway incursions. GSTARS is an effective, low-cost solution that provides aircraft and ground vehicle detection, classification (including aircraft type), and origin/ destination tracking in all weather and visibility conditions. The system is currently installed at MacDill Air Force Base and provides increased situation awareness and tracking of ground traffic to air traffic controllers in the Tower, and to base Operations and Base Command. GSTARS is based on inductive loop technology coupled with advanced signal processing and predictive networking techniques that provide airport surface traffic surveillance.
