Northrop Grumman Highlights New Air Traffic Control Communication Portfolio at World ATM Congress 2015

Northrop Grumman Corporation’s U.K.-based air traffic communication systems subsidiary, Northrop Grumman Park Air Systems, will be showcasing its new air traffic control (ATC) communications portfolio, Park Air Sapphire, at the air traffic management (ATM) exhibition and conference, World ATM Congress in Spain.

Park Air Sapphire is a solution-driven portfolio of products and services aimed at providing ATC communication systems with components designed to ensure ease of purchase, installation and maintenance.

The Park Air Sapphire portfolio will be on display in the Northrop Grumman exhibit, Stand 430 in Hall 9 where demonstrations will be available. The World ATM Congress takes place in Madrid from March10-12.

“We are very proud of the Sapphire portfolio, and the launch year has been an exciting time for us,” said Charles Houseago, managing director, Northrop Grumman Park Air Systems. “We are confident that 2015 will see Sapphire rapidly become established as the ATC communication solution of choice.”

Included in the exhibit will be the new generation of the world’s most widely deployed ATC radio, the Park Air T6. The latest version of the T6 is a highly capable radio fully compliant with Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), and EUROCAE Interoperability Standards for VoIP ATM (ED-137). On display also will be the MARC Server, a highly configurable Internet browser-based control and monitoring system to monitor all the portfolio assets from desktops or tablets.

Also featured will be the company’s award-winning Airport Realtime Collaboration (ARC) software and services. ARC enables airports to capture, process and share crucial information across all of its stakeholders. Customers have achieved impressive results, from increasing the utilisation of existing infrastructure to reducing C02 emissions.
