scope:

This document comprises a MASPS for Remote Tower Optical Systems and is applicable to:

(1) Optical System

This MASPS specifies the end-to-end performance of the Remote Tower Optical System comprising the whole chain from the optical sensor(s) to the optical sensor presentation. It is applicable to all optical sensor configurations that could be used to implement remotely-operated ATS and/or apron management for an aerodrome. The specific configuration of the optical system will be a matter for individual implementations.

(2) Visual Tracking

The Optical Sensor Presentation can optionally be augmented by Visual Tracking information to increase the situational awareness of the operator. This MASPS specifies the end-to-end performance of such a Visual Tracking function comprising the whole chain from the optical sensor(s) to the Optical Sensor Presentation, which then becomes an Augmented Optical Sensor Presentation.

(3) PTZ Object Following

The optical sensor presentation can optionally be augmented with an automatic PTZ object following function. This MASPS specifies the end-to-end performance of such a PTZ Object Following function comprising the whole chain from the optical sensor(s) to the Optical Sensor Presentation.
