The findings of a cost/benefit analysis of the deployment of a new airport ground surveillance system TAGS (Tower Automated Ground Surveillance) are presented. TAGS will provide a plan view display of aircraft on the airports taxiways and runways like ground surveillance radar (ASDE); but unlike ASDE, TAGS will perform in heavy precipitation and automatically acquire and display aircraft flight identity. The findings indicate that a TAGS deployment of between four and nine systems is cost/beneficial. The development plan, system costs, analysis appraoch and sensitivity analysis supporting the findings are provided. (Author)
