Sensis MDS Enhancing Safety and Efficiency at World’s Busiest
Single-Runway Airport

EAST SYRACUSE, NY – September 8, 2008 – Sensis Corporation’s multilateration system, Multistatic Dependent Surveillance (MDS), at London Gatwick Airport was approved for use and is now operational. The surface surveillance system is providing accurate location and identification for enhanced safety and efficiency of aircraft operating in runway, taxiway and stand areas of the airport. Gatwick is the busiest single runway airport in the world and the second largest airport in the UK.

Sensis MDS uses multiple low-maintenance, non-rotating sensors to triangulate aircraft location based on transponder signals and supply air traffic controllers with precise aircraft position and identification information regardless of weather conditions. With a higher update rate and greater positional accuracy than traditional radar, Sensis MDS provides consistent, accurate surveillance performance. MDS’ architecture and advanced multi-path elimination algorithms result in precise surveillance using the optimal number of ground stations for reduced cost and complexity. Additionally, every MDS sensor supports Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B) for easy migration to future technologies.

“MDS’ use of durable, non-rotating sensors provides Gatwick with the reliable, accurate surveillance needed to ensure that their single runway is always in operation,” said Tony Lo Brutto, Vice President and General Manager of Sensis Air Traffic Systems. “Also, the flexibility to expand MDS or easily adopt ADS-B at the appropriate time is built in to the system’s architecture.”

Sensis multilateration is the most field-proven system in the industry. More than 50 airports worldwide rely on Sensis technology as a critical component of a complete Advanced – Surface Movement Guidance and Control (A-SMGCS) solution. Additionally, Sensis multilateration is being used for Wide Area Surveillance in the United States, Canada, Austria and Australia.
