SRA International subsidiary Era a.s. announced it has been chosen by Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH to deploy a multilateration and ADS-B surveillance solution at the Berlin-Brandenburg International Airport.
The airport is scheduled to open in 2012 and will be used as the German capital's primary commercial airport. Era's surveillance system will be used to ensure that the surface operations run safely and efficiently. While SRA does not disclose terms of individual Era contracts, Era contracts for their air traffic management business are typically valued at $1-2 million.
“DFS's selection of Era, after Era's successful deliveries in Munich and Hamburg, reinforces its position as a leader in next generation surveillance solutions,“ said Kevin Layton, Era Systems Corporation senior vice president. “MSS by Era provides high accuracy, coverage and reliability ““ and does so with extremely low acquisition and maintenance costs. This makes it the ideal surveillance solution for both new and existing airports.“
