Copperchase Ltd and ICS Technologies S.p.A Collaborate to Shape the Future of Global Airport Surface Movement Radar (SMR)

In a significant milestone for international aviation collaboration, the Management and Engineering Directors of Copperchase Ltd recently undertook a strategic visit to ICS Technologies S.p.A. in Grottammare, Italy. This high-level delegation focused on solidifying a powerful joint initiative to install, operate, and maintain advanced #SurfaceMovementRadar (SMR) systems across the UK and international markets.

Shaping the Future of A-SMGCS for 2027

As airports worldwide face growing demands for heightened safety, capacity, and efficiency, cutting-edge ground surveillance is more critical than ever. The state-of-the-art SMR systems engineered by ICS Technologies will form an essential cornerstone of the comprehensive Advanced-Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (#ASMGCS) currently being developed by Copperchase.

Designed to deliver peerless performance, this next-generation A-SMGCS suite incorporating the ICS SMR technology is scheduled for deployment at major airports around the world in 2027.

With a firm foundation in innovation, customization, and reliability, ICS Technologies delivers cutting-edge technologies that substantially enhance maritime domain awareness, navigation safety, and global defence capabilities. Furthermore, as a trusted NATO supplier and an active member of leading international organizations including IALA, IHMA, and EUROCAE, ICS upholds the absolute highest standards of quality and regulatory compliance.

Looking Ahead

The alliance between Copperchase and ICS Technologies brings together decades of specialised engineering experience and visionary project execution. By combining Copperchase’s proven leadership in aviation infrastructure delivery with ICS’s world-class radar design and manufacturing capabilities, this partnership is uniquely positioned to redefine airport surface surveillance standards globally.

Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the 2027 rollout of our next-generation A-SMGCS deployments.
