ERA made a huge step forward in integrating world class cybersecurity measures into its ATC systems. ERA recently successfully installed its Wide Area Multilateration system (WAM) in Lithuania for Oro navigacija, establishing “a new normal” to an achievable level of security.
ERA successfully completed a complex WAM project in Lithuania, overcoming key challenges related to cybersecurity, safety, quality, and delivery lead time. Cybersecurity was ensured through a secure system architecture, controlled access, and continuous monitoring, providing full protection of data and systems throughout the lifecycle. ERA has thus established a top-level bar to follow in this pilot project example.
Safety was ensured in strict compliance with European regulations and EUROCAE standards, resulting in an incident-free execution. High quality was achieved through close and effective cooperation between ERA and Oro Navigacija, the Lithuanian Air Navigation Service Provider.
“Oro Navigacija, as the customer, demonstrated exceptional professionalism with a highly skilled team that effectively managed all the required domains, ensuring smooth coordination and decision-making throughout the project. The strong collaboration and mutual trust between ERA and Oro Navigacija were key success factors,” stated Ondřej Chlost, ERA CEO.
“Despite a very tight schedule, the project was delivered on time thanks to effective planning, strong coordination, and proven project management experience. This project clearly demonstrates ERA’s capability to deliver and certify secure, safe, and high-quality solutions within demanding timelines,” said the CEO of Oro navigacija Saulius Batavičius.
ERA has signed a contract with Oro navigacija to provide monitoring of air traffic over the Republic of Lithuania and beyond its borders with its WAM system in April 2024. The new system WAM Lithuania is designed to cover the entire nation’s airspace along with the outskirts beyond the Lithuanian border, including part of the Baltic seashore. ERA as the primary contractor delivered a network of ground stations of its surveillance system MSS-5 and Lithuania thus joined the long list of countries, which benefit from countrywide coverage thanks to multilateration technology, invented and designed by ERA.
