In Okayama, Japan, we have installed four compact air shower arrays, as the LAAS/ARPEGIO experiment. They are operating simultaneously and indep endently, and synchronized with an accuracy of 1µs by GPS receivers. By counting the number of coincident triggers between various array-combinations, we can estimate fluxes of primary cosmic rays at various energies, so the energy spectrum can be constructed. In addition, the improvement of angular accuracy can be expected by combining timing data from plural arrays. These schemes allow us to execute competitive observation of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays with limited-scale equipment.
