Business Wire
Era a.s., a subsidiary of SRA International, Inc. (NYSE: SRX),
today announced that Lianozovo Electromechanical Plant (LEMZ) has
selected Era to deploy a surface surveillance solution at Moscow’s
Domodedovo International Airport. The solution will utilize Era’s
MSS multilateration and ADS-B system, as well as 150 Squid® vehicle
tracking units, and will be integrated into an advanced surface
movement guidance and control system (A-SMGCS).
Domodedovo International Airport, the Russian Federation’s
largest airport, has seen an annual passenger increase of 28
percent since 2000. Due to this rapid expansion, airport officials
have sought infrastructure enhancements that would not only
increase passenger satisfaction, but also increase the safety and
efficiency of ground operations.
“Our strong partnership with LEMZ has been instrumental in this
very important and strategic win for Era in the Russian market.
This will be the first multilateration surveillance system deployed
in the Russian Federation,” said Era Systems Corporation Senior
Vice President Kevin Layton. “Era will now be the first and only
company with a certification from Russian Federation authorities
for multilateration surveillance systems.”
Era’s commercial-off-the-shelf multilateration system and Squid
units will enhance the safety of all ground traffic on Domedodovo’s
surface. For tower controllers, the system will provide accurate,
reliable and automatic identification of aircraft and vehicles
around all movement areas, in all weather conditions. The
scalability of Era’s multilateration system will allow for future
expansion to provide surveillance in the Moscow terminal
maneuvering area.
"Our decision to use Era was based not only on their reputation
for high-quality and reliability, but also their proven ability to
integrate terminal surveillance systems with surface surveillance
systems," said LEMZ CEO Dr. Gennady Bendersky, "As air traffic
continues to increase in the Russian Federation, Era's
multilateration system will be integral for Domodedovo's continued
safety and will help to improve the airport's overall
efficiency."
Era’s multilateration solution provides higher accuracy, faster
update rates, better coverage and improved reliability when
compared to conventional radar, at a much lower initial cost and
with lower annual maintenance and support costs. Era’s products are
deployed in nearly 40 countries worldwide.
Era a.s. provides next-generation air traffic management tools
that address core challenges like safety, efficiency, profitability
and functionality. Its innovative use of proven next-generation
technologies, like multilateration and ADS-B, help air navigation
service providers (ANSPs) and airport operators ease capacity
constraints; enhance safety, improve airspace and ground space
efficiencies; and reduce costs. SRA does not announce sales amounts
for individual Era contracts; Era contracts for their air traffic
management business typically range in value of $1-2 million, and
may be up to $5 million.
