India Selects Era Surveillance Systems

Era Corp., in partnership with the Holland Institute of Traffic Technology (HITT), will provide three multilateration and ADS-B surface surveillance systems for India.  The airports covered under this deal include the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai, India’s largest and busiest, the Anna International Airport in Chennai, and the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata. In an effort to further increase safety, efficiency and optimization, Airports Authority of India chose to add A-SMGCS (Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control Systems) to three of the nation’s busiest airports. Era’s solution will utilize the company’s MSS sensors, which will be strategically placed around each airport to provide optimal surveillance coverage.  MSS by Era is completely modular and can be easily adapted to the fast-growing airport infrastructures.  The system will also allow for improved operations during inclement weather, providing complete situational awareness of all aircraft and vehicles as well, with Era’s Squid vehicle tracking units, during all weather conditions.  The system will be integrated into the A-SMGCS provided by HITT. Era has now deployed systems in over 35 countries and pioneered the use of multilateration technologies for air traffic management, including the world’s first surface, first wide area and first combined surface/wide area multilateration systems. In April, SRA International announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire Era.
