ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for monitoring the position of multiple objects in a space including a target supervisor, a location supervisor, and a hazard monitoring supervisor. The tracking supervisor receives target data from a sensor, characterizes and tracks selected objects, and provides a target output having multiple features respective of the selected objects. The location supervisor characterizes and displays multiple features in the space, and provides a location output having the aforementioned features therein. The hazard monitoring supervisor detects and responds to a predetermined hazard condition, and provides a detectable notice of such hazard condition, responsive to the target output and the location output. A data logger for selectively retains the target output, the location output, or both. The position monitoring apparatus has six modes: full operation, non-airport-surveillance-radar, isolation, set-up, adaptation, and simulation. An integrator mode is included wherein the target supervisor receives data from a surface detection radar, an airborne surveillance radar, a secondary surveillance radar, a global positioning-system based sensor, a ground-based sensor, or an auxiliary sensor.
