Indra Navia facilitates Safe and Efficient Air Travel to London Olympics

Heathrow Airport will be confronted with the largest wave of additional airline passengers, with the total traffic expected to more than double on given days. Indra Navia boasts an impressive installation base at Heathrow, contributing directly to the success of the 2012 Summer Olympics. Six all-weather instrument landing systems, an advanced surface movement guidance control system (A-SMGCS) with surface movement radar, runway incursion monitoring and collision avoidance system (RIMCAS) and an approach traffic monitor, all play a central role in moving athletes, officials, and spectators safely and efficiently to and from the airport. Rounding out the picture, Indra Navias NORMARC Instrument Landing Systems (ILS) and NOVA A-SMGCS systems are also used at Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, Southend, and London City airports. The ground-to-air communications infrastructure for the entire London terminal area is provided by Indra Navias systems.
