Era Selected for Three Multilateration Surface Surveillance Systems in Turkey

Posted on: Thursday, 29 January 2009, 15:01 CST

FAIRFAX, Va., Jan. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Era Systems Corporation, a subsidiary of SRA International, Inc. (NYSE: SRX), has been awarded a contract by the General Directorate of State Airports Authority (DHMI) to deploy its surface multilateration systems at three airports in Turkey. The airports include Ataturk International Airport in Istanbul, one of the 40 busiest airports worldwide, Antalya Airport, one of the fastest growing airports worldwide, and Esenboga International Airport in Ankara, Turkey's fourth busiest.

Era's solution will utilize its MSS(sm) multilateration system as well as Squid(sm) vehicle tracking units to provide air traffic controllers with complete surface situational awareness in all climatic conditions. The systems will be integrated into an advanced-surface movement guidance and control system (A-SMGCS) provided by HITT, the prime on the contract.

"While airports around the world are beginning to feel the effect of the current global economic crisis, safety and efficiency are still paramount to successful operations," said Russell Hulstrom, vice president of Era's Air Traffic Management business. "MSS by Era provides unmatched accuracy, coverage and reliability -- and does so with extremely low acquisition and maintenance costs."

Era is the world leader in proven next generation surveillance technologies and has more than 100 customers in over 40 countries and has been selected in the vast majority of recent worldwide procurements.

Acquired by SRA in July 2008, Era Systems Corporation provides advanced surveillance technologies for the air traffic management, airport operations, military and security markets. For more information about Era, please visit www.sra.com/era.
