Era Selected for Second Russian Airport

Sochi Airport is undergoing an extensive modernization project to enhance the airport infrastructure. This is especially important as the airport expands to meet the demands of the expected increase in air traffic when the city hosts the 2014 Winter Olympic Games. "As evident by our recent surveillance certification, along with our recent airport wins, Era is becoming the clear choice for Russia's next-generation civilian air traffic management surveillance needs," said Era Systems Corporation Senior Vice President Kevin Layton. "Our commercial-off-the-shelf multilateration system is able to meet the varied needs of LEMZ, and we see this as an important second step in a long-term and successful partnership with LEMZ." Era's solutions will provide air traffic controllers with complete surface situational awareness in all climatic conditions and will be integrated into advanced-surface movement guidance and control systems. Era's multilateration solution provides higher accuracy, faster update rates, better coverage and improved reliability when compared to conventional radar, at a much lower initial cost and with lower annual maintenance and support costs. Era's products are deployed in nearly 40 countries worldwide. Era a.s. provides next-generation air traffic management solutions that address core challenges like safety, efficiency, profitability and functionality. Its innovative use of proven next-generation technologies, like multilateration and ADS-B, help air navigation service providers and airport operators ease capacity constraints; improve airspace and ground space efficiencies; and reduce costs.
