Honeywell GBAS Installed At Bremen

Honeywell said installation of its “SmartPath” Precision Landing System at Bremen Airport in Germany has been completed.

A GPS Ground-Based Augmentation System (GBAS), SmartPath provides differential GPS corrections used to supplement the Instrument Landing System (ILS) at Bremen airport. GBAS has been identified as an enabling technology for improving air-traffic capacity in the FAA NextGen and Eurocontrol SESAR programs, Honeywell noted.

The SmartPath installation at Bremen was performed under a contract with DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH, Germany’s air navigation services provider. It is one of eight Honeywell GBAS stations operating worldwide. Additional installations are planned this year at airports in the United States and Europe, Honeywell said.
