A-SMGCS (Advanced Surface Movement Guidance & Control System) is a system providing routing, guidance, and surveillance for the control of aircraft and vehicles in order to maintain the declared surface movement rate under all weather conditions within the Aerodrome visibility operational level (AVOL) while maintaining the required level of safety
A-SMGCS is a modular system consisting of different functionalities to support the safe, orderly and expeditious movement of aircraft and vehicles on aerodromes under all circumstances with respect to traffic density and complexity of aerodrome layout, taking into account the demanded capacity under various visibility conditions, independent of line-of-sight connection between the controller and aircraft/vehicles.
A-SMGCS is a key enabler for the Integrated Tower Working Position (ITWP) which combines surveillance, controller tools, and safety nets for aerodrome controllers.
