A subsidiary of Indra, the company has secured surveillance upgrade contracts as part of DIA’s rapid development project.
The scope of the contracts includes the installation of two new ground movement radars (GMR), an upgrade of three existing radars and an expansion of the existing multilateration (MLAT) system.
Indra Navia president and CEO Eldar Hauge said: "Indra Navia is a top supplier of safety and efficiency-related air traffic management systems for the Dubai airports."
Indra Navia will also adjust its NOVA 9000 Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (A-SMGCS), which has been operational at the airport since 2004.
The company claims that the data integration from the new and upgraded sensor systems with the NOVA A-SMGCS processing system will provide controllers with significantly improved situational awareness.
