Three Phoenix airports to test Honeywell runway safety system for ground-vehicle conflicts

Bookmark this story

Three Phoenix-area airports will test Honeywell Aerospace’s SURF-A system, which is designed to give pilots aural and visual alerts when their aircraft is on a collision course with a ground vehicle. The trial will put the runway-safety technology into airport operations, though the available report gives no schedule or performance results.
