Saab Delivers Airport Surface Safety System at Zagreb International Airport
Defence and security company Saab has been selected by Croatia Control Ltd. to deploy its Advanced – Surface Movement Guidance & Control System (A-SMGCS) at Zagreb International Airport.
Saab will deliver a fully integrated A-SMGCS solution, including hardware, software and engineering services. The system will provide surveillance coverage using an array of Saab’s latest generation multilateration sensors and Saab’s SR-3 Surface-Movement Radar.
The Saab A-SMGCS will fuse surveillance data from the multilateration sensors and SR-3 for the location and identification of all aircraft operating on the airport’s surface. The surveillance data will be integrated with Saab’s conflict detection and alerting algorithms to provide controllers with advanced visual and auditory warning of potential runway incursions.
“Saab´s solutions at Zagreb International Airport will improve situational awareness, runway safety, capacity and will contribute to the landmark modernization project. We are committed to a long-term partnership with Croatia Control today and well into the future,” says Mike Gerry, head of business unit Air Traffic Management within Saab business area Surveillance.
The procurement is in line with Croatia Control’s focus on modernizing the air traffic systems at the largest and busiest international airport in Croatia.
“The implementation of the A-SMGCS system is the result of our strategy of continuous development and commitment to implement state-of-the-art ATM technology solutions in order to comply with the SES (Single European Sky) objectives. We are pleased with the fact that the importance of the project has been recognized by the European Commission, since the project is co-financed through CEF”, says Dragan Bilac, Director General of Croatia Control Ltd.
