3. Comprehensive Explanation
Implement Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (A-SMGCS) Level 1
This objective aims at implementing an airport surface surveillance system that provides ATC with the position and automatic identity of all relevant aircraft on the movement area & all relevant vehicles on the manoeuvring area;
The applicability area is presented in Table 8 of Part IV Annex B of the ESSIP 2012 document;
Initial operational capability - 01/2007, Full operational capability - 12/2011

9. Objective Coordinator’s Analysis, recommendations, tips & tricks
More elaborate explanation of chosen progress assessment is required.
A-SMGCS Level 1 is a pre-requisite for A-SMGCS Level 2. Has to be completed in order that A-SMGCS Level 2 is completed.
