SRA to Upgrade Air-Traffic Control Technology at FAA

In an effort to support small to medium-sized airports in the National Airspace System, SRA International Inc. will provide a low-cost ground surveillance system solution under a contract awarded by the Federal Aviation Administration.  The five-year IDIQ with a value in excess of $20 million will aid the FAA in reducing the risk of runway incursion while maximizing operational efficiency and maintaining operating capacity.

“The solution that SRA will deliver to the FAA is derived from a mature commercial off-the-shelf advanced surface movement guidance and control system that is currently operational at large international airports, such as Frankfurt and Munich, which typically rank in the top 20 world airports by number of aircraft movements,” said SRA President and CEO Stan Sloane. “We are committed to supporting the FAA’s mission of reducing the risk of runway incursions in the U.S. by delivering a highly advanced, yet cost-effective solution for airports in the national airspace system.”

Sloane was named by ExecutiveBiz as one of the “Top Ten – New at the Top” Government Contractor Executives in 2008.
