Raytheon Increases Air Traffic Efficiencies at Four US Airports
Posted on: Friday, 17 October 2008, 12:00 CDT
Raytheon, a developer of technology products, and Lockheed Martin, a provider of engineering and technology services, have completed air traffic system upgrades at Terminal Radar Approach Control facilities and associated air traffic control towers at four airports in the US: Chicago O'Hare International, Denver International, Lambert-St Louis International and Minneapolis-St Paul International.
Raytheon is the prime contractor for the Federal Aviation Administration Terminal Area Modernization Replacement (TAMR) program. The Raytheon-Lockheed Martin team developed and installed new automated radar processing and display systems as part of the TAMR system.
According to Raytheon, the TAMR system upgrades addressed hardware obsolescence and capacity issues and provided an enhanced computer-human interface within the National Airspace System for air traffic controllers. As a result, better efficiencies are anticipated for the management of aircraft separation and sequencing; traffic alerts and weather advisories; and radar vectoring for aircraft arrivals and departures.
Additionally, the new display and processor technologies provide for future terminal enhancements such as automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast, or ADS-B, said Raytheon.
