The AMASS (Airport Movement Area Safety System) concept and implementation are described. AMASS monitors airport surface traffic to advise ground air traffic controllers of potential incursions on runways and taxiway intersections. The system operates with ground and approach sensor systems to ascertain aircraft locations in approaching and ground movement situations. It uses airport radars, state-of-the-art signal processing, and advanced computer technology to improve airport safety. An operational prototype has been tested. Preproduction AMASS equipment will undergo field testing at San Francisco International Airport during the fourth quarter of 1992.<>
