Era Selected for Three Multilateration Surface Surveillance Systems 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, Turkeys fourth busiest. Eras solution will utilize its MSSsm multilateration system as well as Squidsm 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. While airports around the world are beginning to feel the effect of the current global economic crisis, safety and efficiency are still paramount to successful operations, said Russell Hulstrom, vice president of Eras Air Traffic Management business. MSS by Era provides unmatched accuracy, coverage and reliability and does so with extremely low acquisition and maintenance costs.
