Era Selected for Wide Area Surveillance in Republic of Tajikistan

Business Wire
Era a.s., a subsidiary of SRA International, Inc. (NYSE: SRX),
today announced that Tajikaeronavigation, the Republic of
Tajikistan’s air navigation service provider (ANSP), has selected
Era to provide a nationwide wide area multilateration (WAM)
solution in the Republic of Tajikistan. The solution will be
implemented in a phased approach and will utilize Era’s MSS
multilateration and ADS-B surveillance system.
This past year, Tajik Air, the Dushanbe Airport and
Tajikaeronavigation were split from one company into three in an
effort to improve the safety of air travel and improve passenger
services in and around the Republic of Tajikistan. One of
Tajikaeronavigation’s first priorities was to research and
ultimately acquire a secondary surveillance technology to provide
surveillance coverage around the country. With a nation almost
entirely made up of mountainous terrain, secondary surveillance
radars proved too costly and inefficient and would not have
provided the benefits of next-generation technology.
“After an extensive evaluation period where we looked at
surveillance technologies from around the world, we ultimately
chose Era’s next generation multilateration and ADS-B surveillance
solution for our secondary surveillance needs,” said
Tajikaeronavigation General Director Anvar Makhsudov. “Era’s
reputation for excellence and impressive track-record of deploying
WAM solutions in areas of difficult terrain were key factors in
selecting them for this project.”
The nationwide WAM solution will be deployed in three phases.
The first phase, which will begin immediately, includes WAM
surveillance for the northern portion of the country and will
provide air traffic controllers with complete situation awareness
of en route traffic in the Khujand portion of the Dushanbe flight
information region as well as the approach surveillance for the
Khujand International Airport. The second and third phases will
include surveillance for the south and central areas of the nation
and surveillance for the eastern portion, respectively.
“Era is very proud to be supporting Tajikaeronavigation in their
first capital procurement project as the new ANSP in Tajikistan,”
said Era Systems Corporation Senior Vice President Kevin Layton.
Tajikaeronavigation is joining a growing number of leading ANSPs
who have realized the operational benefits and cost savings of
Era’s next-generation multilateration and ADS-B surveillance
technology.”
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.
