Park Air Systems - The World Leader in Complete Air Traffic Control Systems

Northrop Grumman Corporation’s (NYSE: NOC) Europe-based air traffic management subsidiary, Northrop Grumman Park Air Systems, has been awarded a contract to provide a Runway Status Light (RWSL) Control System for Charles de Gaulle Airport, Paris, the first European airport to implement this safety feature.
 
The RWSL Control System is an automated system that warns aircraft and vehicles if it is safe to enter or cross runways through a series of lights embedded in the pavement. The contract, awarded by Direction des Services de la Navigation Aérienne – Direction de la Technique et l’Innovation (DSNA-DTI) of France, is to be completed by end of 2011.
 
“Winning this first European RWSL contract is a major achievement which confirms Northrop Grumman Park Air Systems’ position as the leading supplier of advanced air traffic control surveillance systems”, said Eldar Hauge, managing director for Northrop Grumman Park Air Systems in Norway. “We are already a leading European supplier of Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control Systems (A-SMGCS) for some of the largest airports in Europe and Asia Pacific. RWSL can be offered as an upgrade to any A-SMGCS system, regardless of make, and will give Northrop Grumman Park Air Systems a competitive edge in projects where RWSL is a requirement.”
 
Northrop Grumman Park Air Systems is also supplying the A-SMGCS which connects to the RWSL Control System, offering the best technical solution and providing added safety to busy international airports.
