SELEX Systems Integration announces British Air Traffic Management successes at ATC Global 2011

9 March 2011, Amsterdam – SELEX Systems Integration, a Finmeccanica company, today announces a series of contract awards with regional British airports, consolidating its position as the country’s leading Air Traffic Management (ATM) solution provider. The announcement was made at ATC Global 2011, the world’s leading ATM exhibition.

Over the past six months, SELEX Systems Integration, the UK subsidiary of leading global ATM solution provider, SELEX Sistemi Integrati SpA, has won ATM contracts to support the development of the Isle of Man, Southend and Jersey airports.

These successes have been based on the company’s ability to provide value for money; demonstrate technological innovation to maximise the airports’ operational capability; and its commitment to working in partnership with individual airports to ensure enduring and sustainable benefits for the airport and its local supply chain.

Among the technology innovations that have contributed to the company’s recent successes is the integration of SELEX Systems Integration’s Primary Surveillance Radar combined with Wide Area Multi-Lateration at the Isle of Man. The new systems will provide the airport with the ability to more accurately pinpoint an aircraft’s position over a much wider air space.

In addition to its new ATM contract awards, SELEX Systems Integration also announces that it is to continue its support of recently installed systems at Belfast City, Bournemouth, Newquay and BAES Warton airports, as well as updating the ATM capability it is currently providing for the Marshall Cambridge airport. This last contract was awarded after SELEX Systems Integration demonstrated a working solution to reduce the potential disruption from a proposed nearby wind farm.

Speaking on the recent successes, SELEX Systems Integration CEO, Michael Clayforth-Carr, said: “I am tremendously proud that so many airports have now chosen SELEX Systems Integration to be their ATM solution provider. I believe that this is testament to our proven investment in innovation and our team’s continued dedication to understanding how best to meet our customers’ future ATM requirements. I would like to congratulate all our people on their efforts in making 2010 such a successful year, and I look forward to working successfully with our new customers and established partners in the coming years.”
