SRA to Use Subsidiary's MSS Surveillance System and AirScene.Com
Flight Track Monitoring System FAIRFAX, Va., July 8
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SRA International, Inc. (NYSE:SRX), a
leading provider of technology and strategic consulting services
and solutions to government organizations and commercial clients,
today announced that it has been selected by the Truckee Tahoe
Airport to deploy an MSS multilateration surveillance system, along
with AirScene.com(R) Aircraft Flight Track Monitoring System
software, both developed by its subsidiary, Era Systems
Corporation. The system will be used to track aircraft departing
and arriving at the Truckee Tahoe Airport. The airport, located at
North Lake Tahoe, a mountainous region in northern California,
serves a large number of general aviation aircraft. While many of
the common steps for noise abatement and mitigation had been
completed, the airport was limited in its ability to implement more
advanced steps, as it lacked radar coverage and therefore had no
flight tracking. "Our work will help Truckee Tahoe Airport to
fulfill their mission of providing high-quality aviation facilities
for their users, while simultaneously striving for low impact on
their neighbors," said SRA Vice President of Aviation Systems Bill
Colligan. "This will be the first time in the U.S. that a
multilateration system, installed for commercial non-air traffic
control purposes, will utilize an active interrogator to stimulate
aircraft transponder responses, and we are very excited to be
working with the FAA to make this a reality. Due to the open and
scalable network architecture of Era's multilateration system,
airports can now easily obtain accurate flight-tracking data,
updated every second, to feed their airport operations systems in
terrain where radar would have previously been unfeasible or
uneconomical." AirScene.com is an advanced, professionally hosted
integrated applications suite for managing airport operations.
Airports use AirScene.com to track aircraft, to validate noise
abatement procedures, and to effectively respond to community
concerns. The common operating picture provided by AirScene.com
allows all airport stakeholders to work in a collaborative fashion,
thereby increasing the airport's operational efficiency and
enhancing safety. Webscene, a module of AirScene.com included in
this solution, can provide an online public portal for members of
the airport community to view flights and to log and track noise
complaints. "AirScene.com will serve as a tool and information
source for airport staff and decision makers - and will be integral
to providing a common operating picture when communicating with the
community and all other stakeholders," said Dave Gotschall, general
manager and CEO of Truckee Tahoe Airport District. "Era has a
reputation for providing high-quality flight tracking monitoring
and airport operations management systems, we tested their
reputation by flight checking one of their existing systems and
feel strongly that the benefits that both the airport and community
will see from this system will be tremendous." Acquired by SRA in
July 2008, Era Systems Corporation provides surveillance
technologies for the air traffic management, airport operations,
