Northrop Grumman to Expand Communications System Capability at World's Busiest Airport, UAE
08 Mars 2016 - 3:34PM
LONDON, March 8, 2016
(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC)
announced that its U.K.-based subsidiary, Northrop Grumman Park Air
Systems, is expanding the capability of the air traffic control
(ATC) communication systems at Dubai International (DXB), the
world's busiest international airport, and Dubai World Central
(DWC) airport, United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Under the terms of the contract awarded to Bayanat Engineering UAE,
Dubai Air Navigation Services (DANS) will receive Park Air Sapphire
portfolio products, including its latest Park Air T6 Radio at five
radio sites located at each airport. The system will simultaneously
support both legacy E1 and Voice over IP (VoIP) connectivity,
enabling radio channels to be connected to a network of Park Air S4
IP Controllers, while also connecting to the airports' legacy voice
switch.
The Park Air T6 Radio, an integral part of the Sapphire portfolio,
will provide DANS with Simultaneous Call Transmission (SCT)
detection. With SCT, the T6 Radio receiver detects two pilots
speaking at the same time and sends an alert to the air traffic
controller to take the appropriate action.
"To develop a radio of such advanced capability is a credit to our
engineers," said Danny Milligan, managing director, Northrop
Grumman Park Air Systems. "The new Park Air T6 Radio not only
delivers a significant step forward in terms of performance, but
also contributes to our environmental obligations. It is the
lightest and smallest radio in its class, its power consumption has
been minimised and toxic materials such as beryllia and lithium,
which are traditionally required in radio designs, have been
excluded."
The delivery of the system, which commences this month, will
support the continuing ambitious growth plans at these two key
airports. DXB is the world's busiest airport by international
passenger traffic with 78 million passengers in 2015, and DWC is a
global aviation hub in the making which could become one of the
world's largest airports with an ultimate capacity of up to 240
million passengers and 16 million tonnes of freight.
Northrop Grumman Park Air Systems supplies communication systems
for airspace operations worldwide and this year celebrates the
50th anniversary
of its founding.
