Air traffic controllers at some of India's busiest airports, including Ahmedabad, now have a major technological advantage thanks to Saab's Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (A-SMGCS). This cutting-edge system gives controllers a bird's-eye view of all aircraft and vehicles operating on the airport's ground surfaces, ensuring greater safety and efficiency.
This means controllers are no longer solely dependent on looking out the window. A-SMGCS provides real-time, incredibly precise tracking data delivered in a user-friendly format. The system's clear maps and real-time movement tracking allow controllers to monitor the entire airport with ease. It even provides safety alerts to prevent potential collisions or mishaps on the ground.
Ahmedabad's airport, which handles over a million passengers each month, is not alone in benefiting from A-SMGCS. Airports in Guwahati, Jaipur, and Lucknow all utilize this technology to enhance the safety and efficiency of their ground operations.
Saab's A-SMGCS is a major leap forward in modernizing India's air traffic management. By giving controllers powerful new tools and information, the system improves their ability to make quick, vital decisions. Ultimately, this smoother ground management is expected to enhance the passenger experience nationwide as flights flow in and out of airports more efficiently.
