Runway Safety and Efficiency to Improve with Airport Surface Detection
Equipment, Model X



EAST SYRACUSE, N.Y., Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Miami International Airport is now
operating with Sensis Corporation's Airport Surface Detection Equipment, Model
X (ASDE-X). ASDE-X is an advanced ground surveillance system that provides air
traffic controllers with increased situational awareness of surface operations
and runway incursion detection and alerting. Miami is the 20th airport to
receive ASDE-X through the FAA's ASDE-X program that will bring the technology
to 35 airports.

ASDE-X combines surface movement radar, multilateration and Automatic
Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) surveillance information to provide
air traffic controllers with highly accurate, real-time position and
identification information of all aircraft and vehicles on the airport
surface. By integrating multiple surveillance technologies, the system
delivers a comprehensive picture of ground operations, increasing controller
situational awareness and improving airport safety in all weather conditions.
The system also features advanced runway conflict detection and alerting
technology, Safety Logic, which uses complex algorithms to alert controllers
of potential aircraft and/or vehicle incursions. ASDE-X is compatible with
NextGen systems such as ADS-B.

"ASDE-X is an important runway safety tool that provides the controller with
advanced conflict detection and alerting capability to enhance runway safety,"
said Marc Viggiano, chief operating officer of Sensis Corporation. "The
improved situational awareness provides controllers with the insight needed to
safely increase the efficiency of runway operations."
