Northrop Grumman to Provide Air Traffic Control Communications Upgrades for Gimpo International Airport, South Korea

Northrop Grumman Park Air Systems will provide an E1 digital end-to-end solution which will include the GAREX 220 primary and emergency VCCS. This will integrate with the company's PAE T6 UHF/VHF range of equipment and with locally supplied equipment including installation works, antenna mast construction, and inter-site communications. "Northrop Grumman's Park Air Systems air traffic control communications equipment has been in operation at Gimpo Airport for many years and we are pleased to have been awarded this contract to upgrade the existing infrastructure," said Charles Houseago, managing director of Northrop Grumman Park Air Systems in the UK. "We look forward to working again with the Korean air traffic control authorities and to delivering this world-class solution." The contract is expected to be completed in 2010 and follows on from previous contracts awarded to Northrop Grumman Park Air Systems for the supply of air traffic control systems across South Korea, including those at Incheon Airport, Incheon ACC and other regional airports.
