East Midlands Airport Selects Era for Environmental Management

The Manchester Airport Group has selected Era's wide-area multilateration and ADS-B (automatic dependent surveillance- broadcast) to initially provide surveillance information for East Midland's environmental management program, with the option to extend its use to support surface and terminal air traffic control operations.

Era has been a pioneer in both air traffic control and environmental applications, which are based on its MSS multilateration and ADS-B technologies.  Besides deploying the world's first multilateration-based surface and wide area surveillance solutions for air traffic control, it also claims to have developed the world's first Web-based noise and operations monitoring system.

Several of the world's largest airports, including those in Atlanta, New York, Dallas and Washington, as well as Edinburgh and Glasgow airports in Scotland, use its airport environment management applications, and others, including Beijing, Dublin, Copenhagen, Munich and Singapore, use its systems for airport traffic control purposes.  01-19-2008.
