Airport surveillance equipment from Era a.s., of Fairfax, Va., is operational for Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH (DFS) at Munich and Hamburg airports, the company announced Thursday.
The systems use strategically placed MSS sensors to provide extended coverage of runways, taxiways and aprons; improved automation of aircraft identification; and enhanced surveillance in all weather conditions. The system for Munich also includes Era Squid vehicle tracking units to provide air traffic controllers with a complete view of all ground movements.
“The installations in Munich and Hamburg have been successfully completed in all areas and demonstrate the benefits of Era’s rigorous program management,” said Era Systems Corporation Senior Vice President Kevin Layton. “Because Era has more experience than any other next generation surveillance supplier, we are uniquely able to adapt our solutions to meet the individual needs of our customers.”
