Airfield Lighting Control Systems

atg airports offers a comprehensive range of Airfield Lighting Control Systems designed to suit airports of all sizes, from small regional facilities to major international hubs. Whether you need a straightforward system to manage a single runway or a sophisticated solution for a multi-runway operation, our systems deliver reliability, flexibility, and long-term value. Every system is built with scalability in mind, ensuring it can evolve alongside your airport’s changing requirements.

With decades of experience working alongside airport operators worldwide, we understand that today’s operational needs are unlikely to remain the same in the future. Air traffic growth, regulatory changes, infrastructure upgrades, and technological advancements all influence how airfield systems must perform. That is why atg airports control systems are designed to adapt—allowing seamless integration with new infrastructure, additional airfield services, or implementation as part of an Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (A-SMGCS).

We offer three core airfield lighting control platforms, each of which can be configured to suit specific operational demands:

SmartMini is an ideal choice for smaller airfields requiring straightforward control functionality.
SmartControl provides a modular and flexible solution suitable for medium to large airports, with features such as sectional control and remote monitoring.
For more advanced operations, the SmartControl system can scale to support Individual Lamp Control and Monitoring Systems (ILCMS), offering pinpoint control down to individual lighting elements.

Every atg airports control system is developed and manufactured to the highest industry standards, ensuring robust performance, long-term reliability, and minimal maintenance. Our solutions support efficient airfield operations while helping airport operators improve safety, reduce downtime, and maximise operational profitability.

With future-proof design and customisation at the core, our airfield lighting control systems are engineered to keep pace with your airport’s growth.

Airfield Control Systems Range

At atg airports, our lighting control systems have been designed to adapt to the flow of each unique airport and have the ability to align seamlessly with existing control systems. Our aim is to make the runway an easier and safer environment for everyone. Browse some of our control system options and services below.

A-SMGCS

This complex system involves multiple functionalities to efficiently process the flow of aircraft traffic, the complexity of the airport layout and the effect of visibility conditions on operating factors, all independently of the visual limits of the air traffic controller. The A-SMGCS aims to minimise and prevent hazards from developing by delivering safety nets, and includes conflict detection and resolution making it a top of the range system for safety.

Modular Control System

The Modular Control System is a push button hardware system known to have controlled airfields both RAF and Naval, in the UK and at overseas bases. The MCS has undergone many changes and alterations during it’s existence, one being the inclusion of control of constant current regulators (CCR) to power taxiway circuits which was previously achieved by the use of a ‘D22 contactor unit’ and a Transformer Mains Supply Electronic (TMSE).

SMGCS

The SMGCS is a control system designed with safe movement of aircraft and other vehicles on the taxiway infrastructure at the forefront. The SMGCS uses advanced visual aids and by establishing rigorous control procedures. The system comprises multiple visual aids which when combined enables air traffic control to monitor and guide traffic during very low visibility conditions.

SMARTMINI

The Smartmini is a space-saving, self contained device, the latest in the Smart suite range. This system was designed for lower volumes of traffic to tackle complex airfield challenges. The device is versatile in terms of space conservation, in addition to the stand-alone option, the hardware can be stored in a plant room having the touch screen installed in the Visual Control Room.

Service Support

Where one of atg airport’s control systems is installed we will always provide service support. We are available for 24 hour assistance online, over the phone and on-site.

Runway Incursion System

Runway incursions are at best a hold up of the flow of an airport, and at worst a potentially life threatening mistake. At atg airports we have a number of systems to tackle the issue of runway incursions, including the use of taxiway surface markings and runway surface lighting.

Airfield Lighting control and monitoring system

Airport lighting control and monitoring systems, (ALCMS) allows the operators to control and monitor the various airfield ground lighting (AGL) systems within the airport. The applications which can be controlled and monitored include runway, approach, stop bars, apron and taxiway lighting systems. The lights can be operated either individually or as a group, which helps the manoeuvring of all the ground traffic in a safe and efficient way on the airfield. The intensity of lighting groups can be altered in accordance with predetermined levels.

Airfield lighting control systems, (ALCS) can be designed to interface to any type of airfield lighting equipment. This also includes interfacing to equipment that may be supplied by other manufactures.

The system usually includes the monitoring of alarms relating to the airfield lighting system equipment, individual lamps, generators. This also includes other miscellaneous equipment that could have an impact on operations in case of failure. All system commands, back indications and failures within the system are stored on a central database. This is for the unlikely case of an incident, where the systems configuration can be reviewed, which can be done at any time of the day, for a minimum of 30 days.

Features and benefits

Scalable solutions

We understand that airports evolve over time, whether it’s a small, single runway or a large, multinational airport. With that in mind, our airfield lighting control systems have been designed to easily scale as your airport changes.

Bespoke systems

No two airports are the same, so why should their control systems? We work alongside airport owners large and small to create the perfect system for them.

Quality manufacturing

All products are manufactured to the highest quality, meaning you can stop worrying about your airport’s control systems having technical issues, and start focusing on maximising profitability.

Complete flexibility

Our airport lighting control systems give you complete control over all lights used within the airport and work with lights provided by any manufacturer. Giving you the flexibility to set up the perfect airfield lighting solution for you.
