The ASDE-3 systems monitor Airport Surface Operations (ground movement of aircraft and other supporting vehicles), which is especially important at high traffic airports and in times of poor visibility. The TWT is critical to the operation of the ASDE-3 system, an integral part of the Air Traffic Control System. The FAA is seeking a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) form, fit, and function (FFF) replacement to P/N MTI3046, manufactured by Teledyne MEC, Rancho Cordova, CA, that meets all of the requirements in the attached source control document (SCD_5960-01-319-5632.pdf).
