ERA defines the WAM’s future again. Eurocae WG-51 members met in Brussels
It has been long 14 years since the ED-142 – Technical Specification for Wide Area Multilateration (WAM) Systems - was released. Since that time ERA has delivered dozens of these systems all around the world, gathered a lot of experience about such system´s behaviour and implemented many features and improvements, driven by customers´ requirements.
Nowadays ERA has become a proud member of Eurocae WG-51 SG-5 team, which is dedicated to deliver a brand-new version of the WAM standard called ED-142A. The newly set up group had been working for couple of months online and then it assembled for the first „face to face“ meeting in Eurocontrol HQ in Brussels, on May 28th - 30th. The group progressed significantly in rewriting the draft of an important chapter describing system performance and is optimistic to introduce the above mentioned standard to ATM community in the year 2025.
