1. A method for aircraft ground guidance and control, the method comprising:
inputting location information of controllable and monitorable airfield lights which are installed in an airfield to a server for management, the location information of the airfield lights including global positioning system (GPS) coordinate values;
determining in real time whether coordinate information of an aircraft moving in a radar corresponds to the location information of one or more of the airfield lights; and
when the coordinate information of the aircraft corresponds to the location information of the one or more of the airfield lights, specifying a location of the aircraft and guiding and controlling the one or more of the airfield lights that the aircraft passes,
wherein fifth generation (5G) lidars are installed in a runway, a parallel taxiway, and a rapid-exit taxiway to interoperate with airport surface detection equipment (ASDE) in real time and track the location of the aircraft and a location of a vehicle moving on the runway, the parallel taxiway, and an apron.
