CORTEX SAFE-r - Runway Status Light System, ICAO

The CORTEX SAFE-r Runway Status Lights (RWSL) system is a supplementary safety solution to an airport’s core Airfield Ground Light (AGL) network providing an independent and autonomous solution for additional situational awareness.
 
The RWSL system provides immediate awareness of runway occupancy intended to reduce the risk of incursions involving the incorrect presence of an aircraft, vehicle or person on the runway.
The system is completely scalable and can be tailored based on an airport´s operations and 'hot spots' with greater risk of incursions.
The CORTEX SAFE-r acquires traffic information from surface and approach surveillance systems via the airport´s Multi Sensor Data Fusion (MSDF) system and automatically controls Runway Entrance Lights (REL) and Takeoff Hold Lights (THL) airfield ground lighting directly without any intervention, immediately providing a visual warning of a potential unsafe condition.
