Era Surveillance Systems at Munich and Hamburg Airports Operational

The solution for Munich also includes Era Squid vehicle tracking units to provide air traffic controllers with a complete view of all ground movements. The installations in Munich and Hamburg have been successfully completed in all areas and demonstrate the benefits of Eras rigorous program management, said Era Systems Corporation Senior Vice President Kevin Layton.
