SUMMARY Multilateration is an aircraft surveillance system for airport surface movement utilizing hyperbolic positioning. The system performance is sometimes degraded by multipath signals in airport apron areas. ENRI has proposed an enhanced multilateration system named OCTPASS (Optically Connected Passive Surveillance System), which has interference immunity in a multipath environment. This paper describes evaluation results for OCTPASS prototype equipment.
