SURFACE MOVEMENT RADAR "ALCOR"
Description
“ALCOR” X-band Solid-State Surface Movement Surveillance Radar (SMR) is intended for monitoring and control of movement of aircraft, special purpose vehicles, technical aids and other objects in aerodrome movement area (maneuvering area and apron, runway, taxiways and aircraft parking areas).
SMR operates both in stand-alone mode with output of data to controller’s workstation, and as the part of advanced surface movement guidance and control systems (A-SMGCS).
Composition of "ALCOR" SMR:
» antenna module comprising linear antenna array and the pedestal;
» equipment cabinet containing transmitting-receiving equipment, processing equipment, means of interface with communication links, as well as power supply and rotation control systems;
» waveguide section;
» service workstation;
» uninterruptible power supply source (UPS).
"ALCOR" SMR ensures the following:
» all-round surveillance of aerodrome movement area adjacent to SMR stand-point;
» detection of ground objects within SMR coverage;
» measurement of coordinates of the objects detected in horizontal plane;
» transfer of object coordinates to the users including transfer into A-SMGCS equipment.
