FAIRFAX, Va., Jan. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Era Systems
Corporation, a subsidiary of SRA International, Inc. (NYSE:SRX),
has been awarded 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 in Istanbul, one of the 40 busiest airports
worldwide, Antalya Airport, one of the fastest growing airports
worldwide, and Esenboga International Airport in Ankara, Turkey's
fourth busiest. Era's solution will utilize its MSS(sm)
multilateration system as well as Squid(sm) 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. "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," said
Russell Hulstrom, vice president of Era's Air Traffic Management
business. "MSS by Era provides unmatched accuracy, coverage and
reliability -- and does so with extremely low acquisition and
maintenance costs." Era is the world leader in proven next
generation surveillance technologies and has more than 100
