The purpose
of the Surface Movement Radar is to maximize safety in airports by allowing
Air Traffic Controllers to monitor, advise, and instruct aircraft, vehicles,
personnel etc. 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 e.g. fog, and
possible precipitation e.g. rain and snow.
Recently, Terma was also contracted to deliver and install a SCANTER
5502 SMR system to Minsk-2 Intl. Airport in Belarus, and to supply three
SCANTER 5502 SMR radar systems to Dublin Airport in Ireland as well
as to Sabiha Gökcen Intl. Airport in Istanbul. These orders bring
the total number of the SCANTER 5000 Solid State family sold well over
100 units.
ATM Systems
For the New Doha International Airport in Qatar Terma is supplied a
Digital Automated Terminal Information Service System (D-ATIS),a General
Display System (GDS), and an ATC Information Support System (ATC*ISS).
For the Abu Dhabi International Airport in the UAE Terma in 2010 supplied
an ATC Information Support System (ATC*ISS).
