Era Systems Corporation, an SRA Subsidiary, Launches Multilateration System in Oslo

The system is now fully operational and feeding into the advanced-surface movement guidance and control system (A-SMGCS) developed by HITT, the prime on the contract, to provide air traffic controllers with complete situational awareness. Airport officials at Oslo selected Eras MSS ADS-B and multilateration surveillance solution and Eras Squid vehicle tracking devices to support their notable growth, high safety record and recognized on-time performance. These systems add to Oslos already extensive surface tracking and aircraft routing system, which includes primary X-band radar and a taxiway guidance lighting system. Eras MSS provides higher accuracy, greater update rates, better coverage and improved reliability when compared to traditional radar at a much lower initial cost and with lower annual maintenance costs. Through a combination of rigorous program management and close partner and customer cooperation, Era has successfully deployed this system a mere 16 months after contract award, said Russell Hulstrom, vice president of Eras Air Traffic Management Business. Era systems are the most widely selected and operationally proven ADS-B and multilateration systems in the world, and we have the unique experience and capabilities that can deliver systems in a timely and efficient manner. Acquired by SRA in July 2008, Era Systems Corporation provides advanced surveillance technologies for the air traffic management, airport operations, military and security markets.
