Abstract :
This paper describes DSDC´s GNSS based airport control and management system and research conducted at the Manchester, New Hampshire airport. The system was demonstrated to the FAA in August of 1993 while under a BAA demonstration contract. The system utilized new concepts and techniques which are compatible with GNSS based navigation and positioning information. Major system operational elements and a system level processing overview are presented
