SeRo Systems: Pioneering Airport Surface Surveillance
SeRo Systems, a prominent name in the realm of air traffic security and monitoring, recently unveiled a significant advancement in airport surveillance technology with the introduction of the MLX1090, a new Surface Multilateration System (MLAT). This innovative system is designed to integrate seamlessly into Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control Systems (A-SMGCS), marking a substantial step forward in the pursuit of safety and operational efficiency at airports.
The MLX1090 is built in accordance with stringent standards set forth by EUROCAE ED-117A and ED-129B. It continually monitors and tracks both aircraft and ground vehicles within active airport areas, enhancing both operational awareness and ensuring safe separation. This capability is vital for modern airports that are increasingly under pressure to improve safety measures while managing costs effectively.
Key Features of MLX1090
This state-of-the-art solution combines the powerful GRX receiver hardware with SecureTrack software. The integration of high-precision multilateration (MLAT) and Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) technology creates a unified operational viewpoint. The result? Airport operators and air traffic controllers gain real-time insights into the positions of aircraft and ground vehicles, allowing for proactive safety alerts and a heightened situational awareness level.
The MLX1090 operates on an independent, dedicated on-premises server, ensuring that it is not reliant on external cloud services. This setup, coupled with robust maintenance and support from SeRo Systems, delivers a secure and cost-effective solution that suits various types of airports, including regional, general aviation, and higher traffic commercial hubs.
Markus Fuchs, Chief Technology Officer and Chief Information Security Officer at SeRo Systems, emphasized the importance of this innovative product. He articulated, "Airports today face mounting pressure to improve surface safety and operational resilience while controlling infrastructure costs. Our MLX1090 is a natural evolution of the airspace and ground monitoring technology we've refined over more than a decade. By integrating our GRX receivers with our MLAT and real-time analytics capabilities, we've engineered a scalable, cost-effective solution that makes advanced surveillance capabilities available to smaller airports."
Trial Implementation and Future Prospects
Currently, the MLX1090 is undergoing field trials at a regional airport in Germany, showcasing its potential to enhance air traffic safety and operational efficiency. With established trust from air navigation service providers (ANSPs), regulators, and aviation authorities across Europe and the United States, SeRo Systems is poised to expand its impact in the field of air traffic surveillance.
SeRo Systems, headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany, is dedicated to ensuring the security and safety of air navigation through innovative technology and engineering expertise. The company’s commitment to quality management and information security is underscored by its ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001:2022 certifications.
As the aviation sector continues to evolve, solutions like the MLX1090 represent the future of airport operations, where safety and efficiency go hand in hand. For more information on SeRo Systems and their surveillance monitoring solutions, visit
