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 and
commercial clients, announced that Era Systems Corporation, a
subsidiary of SRA, has achieved site acceptance with the ATNS,
South Africa's air navigation service provider (ANSP), for its
terminal area ADS-B and multilateration surveillance system at the
Cape Town International Airport. Era's system provides wide area
surveillance in the Cape Town terminal area out to 60 nautical
miles from the Cape Town International Airport. Data from the
system will be fed to the ATNS EUROCAT system and fused with
primary and secondary surveillance radar information to provide air
traffic controllers complete situational awareness. The system will
be used operationally once certification from the South African CAA
has been obtained. "ATNS is proud of its pioneering work with
multilateration and ADS-B, and we can see the benefits these
technologies will bring to our surveillance needs today and for our
surveillance infrastructure of tomorrow," said Chris Steyn, the
Cape Town Wide Area Multilateration Project Manager. "Era has
consistently proven that they are able to deliver sophisticated
next generation surveillance systems that meet our stringent
quality standards." Era's ADS-B and multilateration system provides
higher accuracy, greater update rates, better coverage and improved
reliability when compared to traditional radar, at a much lower
initial cost and with lower annual maintenance costs. "ATNS is an
industry-respected ANSP with extremely rigorous standards and we
are honored that they have continually relied on Era to deliver
next-generation surveillance solutions," said SRA Senior Vice
President of Air Traffic Systems, Kevin Layton. Era is also
currently in the process of completing two next generation surface
surveillance systems for ATNS. The systems -- one at Cape Town
International and one at O.R. Tambo International Airport in
Johannesburg -- are being installed to support the growing
passenger demand and increased operations, especially as they
prepare for the 2010 World Cup. Acquired by SRA in July 2008, Era
Systems Corporation provides advanced surveillance technologies for
the air traffic management, airport operations, military and
security markets. About SRA International, Inc. SRA and its
