Multilateration Systems for Turkey

Era Systems has been awarded a contract by the General Directorate of State Airports Authority (DHMI) to deploy its surface multilateration systems at three airports in Turkey. The airports include Ataturk International Airport in Istanbul, one of the 40 busiest airports worldwide, Antalya Airport, one of the fastest growing airports worldwide, and Esenboga International Airport in Ankara, Turkey’s fourth busiest. Era’s solution will utilize its MSS multilateration system as well as Squid vehicle tracking units to provide air traffic controllers with complete surface situational awareness in all climatic conditions. The systems will be integrated into an advanced-surface movement guidance and control system (A-SMGCS) provided by HITT, the prime on the contract. Russell Hulstrom, vice president of Era’s Air Traffic Management business, said “MSS provides unmatched accuracy, coverage and reliability – and does so with extremely low acquisition and maintenance costs.”
