AARHUS, Denmark - Avinor has contracted Terma to upgrade two of the existing Terma Surface Movement Radars (SMR) at Oslo Gardermoen Airport. Following the upgrade, alongside the already installed SCANTER radar system, Oslo Gardermoen Airport will operate three of the new generation Solid State SCANTER 5502 Surface Movement Radar from Terma.
Terma says the award also reflects a sign of the long-term relationship between Avinor and the company, where Oslo Gardermoen Airport was the first airport in the world to implement a so-called Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (A-SMGCS). The SCANTER 5502 Solid State Surface Movement Radars is integrated into the airport’s A-SMGCS as the primary non-cooperative surveillance sensor.
The purpose of the Surface Movement Radar is to maximize safety in airports by allowing Air Traffic Controllers to monitor, advice, and instruct aircraft, vehicles, personnel, and other things moving on the ground in an airport. A radar is very suitable for this purpose as it covers a large area and operates independently of light conditions (day/night), visibility conditions, and possible precipitation, such as rain or snow.
Terma says that its Surface Movement Radars are in operation at a total of over 130 international airports around the globe.
