Russian Federation’s First MSS Surveillance System

Era says Lianozovo Electromechanical Plant (LEMZ) has selected Era to deploy a surface surveillance solution at Moscow’s Domodedovo International Airport. The solution will utilize Era’s MSS multilateration and ADS-B system, as well as 150 Squid vehicle tracking units, and will be integrated into an advanced surface movement guidance and control system (A-SMGCS). Domodedovo International is the Russian Federation’s largest airport, Airport officials have sought infrastructure enhancements that would not only increase passenger satisfaction, but also increase the safety and efficiency of ground operations.  “This will be the first multilateration surveillance system deployed in the Russian Federation,” said Era’s Senior Vice President Kevin Layton. “Era will now be the first and only company with a certification from Russian Federation authorities for multilateration surveillance systems.” For tower controllers, the system will provide accurate, reliable and automatic identification of aircraft and vehicles around all movement areas, in all weather conditions. The scalability of Era’s multilateration system will allow for future expansion to provide surveillance in the Moscow terminal maneuvering area. LEMZ CEO Dr. Gennady Bendersky said "as air traffic continues to increase in the Russian Federation, Era's multilateration system will be integral for Domodedovo's continued safety and will help to improve the airport's overall efficiency."
