What Is a VMAT Unit?
A Vehicle Movement Area Transponder, commonly referred to as a VMAT unit, is installed on an airport ground vehicle to transmit the vehicle’s identification and position for use by an airport surface surveillance system. Properly configured VMAT units help air traffic control and airport personnel identify equipped vehicles operating on or near runways, taxiways, and other controlled movement areas.
