Sensis Corporation to Provide Multilateration to Dubai World Central International Airport

Airport to Receive Most Proven Multilateration System Available

Sensis Corporation announced that it will integrate with the Park Air Systems Advanced – Surface Movement Guidance and Control System its multilateration surveillance system, Multistatic Dependent Surveillance (MDS), for ground surveillance at Dubai World Central International Airport (Dubai World Central). Under construction South of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, Dubai World Central will be the world’s largest passenger and cargo hub with an annual capacity of over 12 million tons of cargo and in excess of 120 million passengers. With one proven, uniform architecture, Sensis MDS will provide high-accuracy multilateration surveillance as well as the ability for future transition to Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B).

Dubai World Central is planned to have six parallel runways – three on each side of a centrally located passenger complex. Additionally, each runway will have extended paved pathways on either side which will allow aircraft to by-pass other runways and taxiways without disturbing aircraft movements. Initially, Sensis MDS will be deployed to cover the first runway and taxi areas as well as the apron and stand areas.

Sensis MDS, a transponder multilateration surveillance system, provides precision equal to or better than traditional airport surveillance radar as well as higher update rates. Additionally, it provides consistent surveillance performance regardless of weather conditions.

“Multilateration is a flexible solution that can easily grow as an airport grows, making it an ideal solution for Dubai World Central,” said Tony LoBrutto, Vice President and General Manager of Sensis Air Traffic Systems. “The low cost, non-rotating sensors are a proven solution for surface, wide area and even en-route surveillance. And the ability to support ADS-B ensures that this investment will support the airport’s future needs.”

Sensis multilateration has been the solution of choice for more than 20 major airports throughout Europe, Canada and Asia. Additionally, it is a core component of the FAA’s Airport Surface Detection Equipment – Model X (ASDE-X) system which Sensis is installing at 35 airports across the U.S.
