Business Wire
Adacel (ASX: ADA), an industry leader in air traffic automation,
simulation, speech recognition technology and software integration,
announced today it has been awarded a contract from Era Systems
Corporation to supply its Aurora air traffic management (ATM)
system for Fiji.
The contract is part of a nation-wide project awarded to Era by
Airports Fiji Limited (AFL) to provide a comprehensive, advanced
air traffic management (ATM) system for the Nadi flight information
region (FIR). Adacel�s Aurora ATM system will replace the existing
ATM systems in the area control center (ACC) and in the control
towers at Nadi and Nausori airports. The ATM system will integrate
data from Era�s MSSsm ADS-B and multilateration surveillance
system.
�We are very pleased to be part of this program with Era,� said
Adacel CEO Fred Sheldon. �Our Aurora ATM system software is already
being used in adjacent FIR�s by the FAA and Airways New Zealand.
With this project, we will provide AFL with equivalent oceanic ATM
capabilities as well as en route, approach and tower control in the
same system.�
�It is great to have Adacel on the team,� said Russell Hulstrom,
Era�s Vice President for ATM Solutions. �The advanced
functionality, ease-of-use, and flexibility of the Aurora product
is a star component of the overall solution, and the Adacel team
have put together a technical design and support program which is
ideal for AFL.� The integration of Adacel�s next generation Aurora
ATM automation with Era�s surveillance technologies will allow AFL
to provide the highest level of customer service throughout its
oceanic and domestic airspaces and to transition from procedural to
radar-like separation standards within the ADS-B/multilateration
surveillance area without ever acquiring radars.
Aurora�s next generation conflict probe enables user preferred
routes, dynamic airborne rerouting and reduced separation to
improve airspace efficiency and reduce aviation emissions.
