system. The FAA predicts that these systems will help reduce the amount of incursions per year by 70 percent. The technology behind these systems is complex but can be broken down into smaller pieces to understand how they all work together.
             The Technology Behind ASDE-X and AMASS:
             The ASDE-X system consists of a Surface Movement Radar (SMR) sensor, a Multilateration sensor capable of receiving Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B), a Multi-Sensor Data Processor (MSDP), a Remote Monitoring System (RMS), and multiple Air Traffic Control (ATC) Display Processors (DPs). The ASDE-X MSDP subsystem combines independent surveillance reports data from the SMR subsystem with cooperative and dependent data from the Multilateration subsystem to provide a single target with Flight Identification (ID) for display to ATC. The MSDP subsystem also integrates data from Automated Radar Terminal System (ARTS) and Airport Surveillance Radar (ASR). The system is capable of using all sensors at once,
