Abstract
A surface movement, guidance and control system is provided. The system includes a plurality of base stations, disposed at a site, each base station providing a coverage area and having a known geo location and using an IP-based high data rate radio link with low latency. Each base station is adapted to receive periodic positional updates from vehicles on the site over the IP-based high data rate radio link. The system also includes a server. The server is communicatively coupled to the plurality of base stations. The server is configured to track and periodically transmit the location of the vehicles to the base stations. Each base station broadcasts vehicle position information.
