Era to Deploy Russian Federation's First Multilateration Surveillance Solution

Era, a subsidiary of SRA International, Inc., announced that Lianozovo Electromechanical Plant has selected Era to deploy a surface surveillance solution at Moscow's Domodedovo International Airport.

The solution will utilize Era's MSS multilateration and ADS-B system, as well as 150 Squid vehicle tracking units, and will be integrated into a surface movement guidance and control system.

Domodedovo International Airport, the Russian Federation's largest airport, has seen an annual passenger increase of 28 percent since 2000. Due to this rapid expansion, airport officials have sought infrastructure enhancements that would not only increase passenger satisfaction, but also increase the safety and efficiency of ground operations.

"Our partnership with LEMZ has been instrumental in this win for Era in the Russian market," said Era Systems Senior VP Kevin Layton. "This will be the first multilateration surveillance system deployed in the Russian Federation. Era will now be the first and only company with a certification from Russian Federation authorities for multilateration surveillance systems."

Era's commercial-off-the-shelf multilateration system and Squid units will enhance the safety of all ground traffic on Domedodovo's surface. For tower controllers, the system will provide automatic identification of aircraft and vehicles around all movement areas, in all weather conditions. The scalability of Era's multilateration system will allow for future expansion to provide surveillance in the Moscow terminal maneuvering area.

Era is a provider of air traffic management tools that address core challenges like safety, efficiency, profitability and functionality. Its use of technologies, like multilateration and ADS-B, help air navigation service providers and airport operators ease capacity constraints.
