Era to install surface multilateration systems at three airports in Turkey
Era Systems Corporation has been awarded (29-Jan-09) a contract by the General Directorate of State Airports Authority (DHMI) to deploy its surface multilateration systems at three airports in Turkey. The airports include Ataturk International Airport, Antalya Airport and Esenboga International Airport.

 

Era’s solution will utilise its MSS multilateration system as well as Squid vehicle tracking units to provide air traffic controllers with complete surface situational awareness in all climatic conditions. The systems will be integrated into an advanced-surface movement guidance and control system (A-SMGCS) provided by HITT, the prime on the contract.

Russell Hulstrom, vice president of Era’s Air Traffic Management business said, “While airports around the world are beginning to feel the effect of the current global economic crisis, safety and efficiency are still paramount to successful operations. MSS by Era provides unmatched accuracy, coverage and reliability and does so with extremely low acquisition and maintenance costs.”

Acquired by SRA in Jul-08, Era Systems Corporation provides advanced surveillance technologies for the air traffic management, airport operations, military and security markets.
