PR Newswire (US)
FAIRFAX, Va., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SRA International,
Inc. (NYSE:SRX), a leading provider of technology and strategic
consulting services and solutions to government organizations,
announced that Era Systems Corporation, a subsidiary of SRA, was
awarded a contract by ANS CR, the Czech Air Navigation Service
Provider, to deploy a wide area multilateration system in Brno,
Czech Republic. Era's solution, also capable of decoding ADS-B
signals, will provide surveillance coverage out to 80 nautical
miles from the Brno airport. Era's system in Brno will be the third
wide area multilateration system installed by ANS CR, following
systems deployed in Ostrava and Prague, and will be the final
system needed to provide complete nationwide coverage. "It is our
full intention to interconnect all three wide area multilateration
systems early in 2010 to create the world's first nationwide wide
area multilateration capability," said Ivan Uhlir, ANS CR
surveillance expert. "We are excited to once again be partnering
with Era in this endeavor as they have proven time and again their
industry-leading multilateration capabilities." Multilateration is
unique in that it can decode both traditional transponder signals
as well as ADS-B transmissions, and when compared to conventional
secondary radar, provides much higher position accuracy, faster
update rates, better coverage and improved reliability. "The ANS CR
have always been innovators, installing the world's first surface
multilateration system and the world's first wide area
multilateration system," said Russell Hulstrom, Vice President of
Era's Air Traffic Management business. "Creating the world's first
nationwide wide area multilateration solution is another important
step towards the transition to a world 'beyond radar.' Era is the
world leader in wide area multilateration and has been chosen by
ten ANSPs around the globe to provide various wide area
multilateration applications, more than any other wide area
multilateration provider. Acquired by SRA in July 2008, Era Systems
Corporation provides advanced surveillance technologies for the air
traffic management, airport operations, military and security
markets. For more information about Era, visit
