Multilateration Commissioned In South Africa

Era Systems Corp. said its MSS ADS-B and multilateration systems have been commissioned for wide area and surface surveillance at Cape Town International Airport, South Africa, and at Johannesburg International Airport for surface surveillance by ATNS, the country’s air navigation service provider.

The wide area multilateration (WAM) system in Cape Town is the first certified WAM system in Africa for ATC separation services in terminal area and en-route airspace, Era said. Completion of the surface and approach systems in Cape Town followed the recent commissioning of an Era system at O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg.
