ERA will replace the older multilateration (MLAT) system with a new version of the ERA MLAT system, called MSS- 5.

The firm plans to carry out the project ‘with its tried and tested Spanish partner SEAIRTECH as the prime contractor that will be responsible for the actual installation’.

The MSS-5 system, which is an improved version of ERA’s traditional multilateration surveillance system (MSS) product, has been designed according to the newly applied air traffic management (ATM) standards.
