Business Wire
Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international communications
and information technology company, has been awarded two contracts
to modernize the air traffic control systems (ATC) at two regional
airports in Indonesia.
Harris will supply its Liberty-STAR™ Voice Communication and
Control System (VCCS) to the Ngurah Rai International Airport in
Bali and the Sepinggan International Airport in Balikpapan.
Liberty-STAR™ VCCS features a modular architecture, open-platform
software and commercial-off-the-shelf hardware that delivers a
reliable, scalable communications solution for ATC towers, airline
and area control dispatch, flight service stations, and mobile
shelters.
The Ngurah Rai International Airport and Sepinggan International
Airport systems will be equipped with touch-screen operator
positions, radio interfaces, telephone interfaces, and a System
Maintenance, Administration and Reconfiguration Terminal (SMART)
POSITION™. Harris also will install and provide operation and
maintenance training for Indonesian air traffic controllers and
technical staff.
“These two cities represent very important economic engines for
Indonesia,” said John O'Sullivan, vice president, Mission Critical
Networks, Harris Corporation. “Sustainable economic growth
ultimately depends on how successful Indonesia’s airports are, and
providing them with advanced mission-critical communications is a
step in that direction.”
Harris has extensive experience developing mission-critical
solutions that support civil and military ATC operations worldwide,
including more than 200 customers in 50 countries. While these are
the company’s first ATC communications contracts in Indonesia,

countries in the region, including the Philippines, Vietnam,
Thailand, and Taiwan.
