Saab Surface Safety System now Operational at Gimhae International Airport

Saab has announced that the Seoul Regional Office of Aviation has commissioned for operational use the Advanced-Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (A-SMGCS), featuring the SR-3 Surface Movement Radar (SMR) at Gimhae International Airport in South Korea.

The A-SMGCS from Saab provides air traffic controllers at South Korea’s Gimhae International Airport in Busan with a display of all aircraft and vehicles on the airport’s runways and taxiways for improved safety and efficiency.

The Saab SR-3 SMR provides a high quality, non-cooperative surveillance picture, and performs particularly well in poor weather conditions based on its unmatched frequency diversity.

“The Saab SR-3 is the ideal radar for airports such as Gimhae with extreme weather conditions. With the SR-3 feeding the Saab A-SMGCS, the controllers will have significantly improved situational awareness,” says Mike Gerry, head of business unit Air Traffic Management within Saab business area Industrial Products and Services.
