This book was released on 1982 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Airport Surface Detection Equipment (ASDE)-3 radar test bedat the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Technical Center was installed and evaluated in 1980. Resulting from these tests, it was noted that additional information was required prior to the issuance of the procurement specification. Specifically, the three objectives were: (1) an investigation of anomalous elongation of target returns from F-106 aircraft; (2) to determine if there is an improvement in system performance when oversized waveguide is installed in lieu of standard Ku band waveguide; and (3) a comparison of linear vertical, linear horizontal, and right hand circular antenna feed polarizations with respect to clear weather target imaging performance. This report documents the evaluation conducted and the results of this evaluation. The results indicated that: (1) the target elongation is generated by intermediate frequency (IF) amplifier saturation; (2) oversize waveguide improves system performance and should be utilized for long radiofrequency (RF) runs; and (3) linear polarization improves clear weather target imaging and should be provided to the controller as an option.

Download or read book Airport Surface Detection Equipment ASDE 3 Project Plan written by and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Airport Surface Detection Equipment (ASDE) is a primary radar and display system used to provide the airport surface traffic situation to the air traffic controller. An ASDE-3 engineering model is being procured by the Transportation Systems Center (TSC) for testing at NAFEC. The product of this development will be a complete and comprehensive technical data package presented to the Airways Facilities Service (AAF) for procurement of production ASDE-3 units. The purpose of this Project Plan is to describe the program for development, test, evaluation, maintenance, and configuration control of the ASDE-3 engineering model, and to delineate the responsibilities of each of the participating organizations.

Download or read book Airport Surface Detection Equipment ASDE 3 Operational Evaluation written by Louis A. Dvorsky and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Operational tests were performed on the Airport Surface Detection Equipment (ASDE)-3 radar. Three teams of air traffic controllers, two per team, with current field ASDE-2 experience, were used as test subjects. The controllers were from the Eastern and New England Regions. These tests were conducted to determine the extent to which the ASDE-3 met requirements as presented by the Air Traffic Service and what the controllers' opinions were of the radar. Tests conducted were: airport surface coverage, capability, target detection as a function of speed between aircraft and aircraft to obstruction resolution, target size and shape determination, standing target heading, and runway clearance.

Download or read book Airport Surface Detection Equipment asde Operational Effectiveness with and Without Bright Display written by Stanley H. Gaffen and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Airport Surface Detection Equipment (ASDE) radar provides controllers with a means to observe surface traffic movement. In extremely low visibility controllers can't see all of a field. ASDE can then increase safety and help expedite traffic flow. The kinds of accidents which ASDE can help prevent have not occurred. For important types of runway combinations, its contribution to expediting flow appears to be very small, except where intersecting runways are used. As minimums are lowered and low visibility flow rates increase, ASDE's contribution to safety and expediting flow will also increase. Major recommendations are: brightdaylight ASDE displays should not be developed and installed unless ASDE will remain in tower cabs for a long time; plans to survey (dispose of) some ASDE's suggests this is unlikely. Bright ASR displays should be provided for tower cabs before bright ASDE displays. Consideration should be given to turning off some ASDE's and maintaining them in a moth-ball status. (Author).

Download or read book Surveillance Improvement Algorithms for Airport Surface Detection Equipment Model X ASDE X at Dallas Fort Worth Airport written by Jeffrey Lee Gertz and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Operational testing of the Runway Status Lights (RWSL) system at the Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) airport has detected a number of cases where faults in the ASDE-X/DFW surveillance data have led to erroneous operation of the status lights. The RWSL surveillance improvement algorithms package described in this document is placed between the ASDE-X/DFW surveillance data source and the RWSL safety logic. This document illustrates the performance of the RWSL surveillance improvement algorithms package with examples from DFW analysis.--p. [i].
