Problem
Aircraft ground operations on the ramp involve vehicles and equipment moving in close proximity to aircraft, creating a high risk of collisions that can damage assets and disrupt operations. Operators often lack timely awareness of nearby obstacles, and existing procedures rely heavily on human vigilance, which is insufficient in busy and complex ramp environments.
Solution
SteerClear offers a universal collision warning system for aircraft ground operations, combining a modular sensor kit with dedicated software. Modular proximity sensors monitor critical zones around aircraft and vehicles, detecting nearby obstacles early. When an object enters a predefined proximity zone, the operator receives clear audio and visual warnings through a focused interface designed to fit within existing workflows. This earlier awareness supports safer maneuvering and fewer contact events, acting as an assistance system that does not replace standard procedures or operator responsibility.
Target Audience
Primary customers are airport ground handling operators, airlines, and aviation service companies that operate vehicles and equipment on the ramp and need to prevent ground collisions with aircraft.
