Runway safety is failing! 🚨 In this critical episode, we dive deep into the real-world problem causing near-misses and ground collisions: the pilot's lack of real-time surface situational awareness.Sri and Ashwini analyze the current state of Airport Surface Detection and explore revolutionary solutions that are being developed by industry giants like Collins and Honeywell.We discuss:Why fully automated tugboats are unlikely due to certification and redundancy challenges.The game-changing role of Portable Electronic Devices (PEDS/iPads) and TPADS in giving pilots live data.The future of Heads-Up Displays (HUDs) for ground operations—will augmented reality guide aircraft on the taxiway?The critical debate: Is modern flight deck technology creating a sensory overload for pilots, or is it an essential tool for Runway Incursion Mitigation?How AI and Machine Learning are being used to process complex ATC data and solve the "system overload" problem.This is a must-listen for future aerospace engineers, pilots, and air traffic control professionals interested in the modernization of air traffic systems and ground operations safety.
