ROWS: Runway Occupancy Warning System
Runway Occupancy Warning System (ROWS) is testing the capability of a suite of Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) sensors to detect and track aircraft and vehicles in an airport movement area. ROWS aims to prove the technological capability of a very low cost solution set that may be deployable to sites that cannot support a business case for Low Cost Ground Surveillance (LCGS). The ROWS program will evaluate the viability of using COTS sensors in a combined platform to detect and track aircraft or vehicles as well as to provide audible and/or visual warnings to pilots or controllers.
