Business Wire
Era a.s., a subsidiary of SRA International, Inc. (NYSE:SRX),
today announced that The National Air Navigation Services Company
(NANSC) in Egypt has selected Era to deploy a surface surveillance
solution at the Cairo International Airport. The solution will
utilize Era’s MSS multilateration system, and will be integrated
into an advanced surface movement guidance and control system
supplied by HITT, the prime contractor for the project.
Cairo International Airport, Africa’s second busiest airport in
terms of passenger traffic and first in terms of freight volume,
has seen substantial infrastructure enhancements, including a
recently constructed third terminal and a nearly completed third
parallel runway. As a result, NANSC sought a comprehensive and
easily adaptable surface surveillance solution that could
accurately and precisely locate all aircraft on the airport’s
surface to enhance safety and improve efficiency.
“NANSC required a surveillance solution capable of handling the
complex surface layout of the Cairo International Airport,” said
Era Systems Corporation Senior Vice President Kevin Layton. “NANSC
chose Era not only because of our extensive experience in
delivering surveillance solutions at large and complex airports,
but also because of our unwavering commitment to exceeding all of
our customers’ expectations—an attribute that NANSC has experienced
first-hand.”
In 2005, Era supplied NANSC with a vehicle tracking solution to
monitor all vehicle ground movements on the airport’s surface. This
system will be integrated with Era’s future solution to provide air
traffic controllers with a complete and total view of all airport
surface movements.
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.
