ERA has signed a new contract with UZAERONAVIGATION for the deployment of its surveillance system in the Fergana Valley

ERA has signed a new contract with UZAERONAVIGATION for the deployment of its surveillance system in the Fergana Valley

ERA announced that UZAERONAVIGATION, the Uzbekistan air navigation service provider (ANSP), had selected this Czech company to provide a wide area surveillance solution for monitoring air traffic in the airspace over the Fergana Valley. The project will utilize ERA’s system MSS (Multi-sensor Multilateration and ADS-B Surveillance System), proven to function in the specific conditions prevailing in the Central Asian region. ERA is proud to add Uzbekistan as the 70th country to the list of its partners using ERA surveillance technologies.

ERA recently signed a contract with UZAERONAVIGATION, the end user and main benefactor of the project, for the supply of an ADS-B/WAM capability system in the region of Fergana Valley in the eastern part of the Republic of Uzbekistan. This marks the first installation of such a system in this country: the solution by ERA is supposed to secure air traffic safety in one of the most densely populated regions of Central Asia.

The company was recognized as the best supplier for delivering this advanced technology thanks to the successful installations in neighbouring Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. This will provide a technical opportunity to interconnect the ground stations of the neighbouring systems to one net and integrate the surveillance data.

“Choosing ERA for our secondary surveillance needs is the result of a tendering process, ERA meets best all our requirements. The key factor in selecting them for this project was ERA’s impressive track-record of deploying WAM solutions worldwide. It rests us assured that its technology can provide the country-wide coverage of the Uzbekistan airspace in the future,“ stated Djumaev Doniyor, the Director of UZAERONAVIGATION

One of UZAERONAVIGATION’s priorities has been to acquire a secondary surveillance technology to provide coverage of the valley region surrounded by mountains, where traditional radars would be too costly and inefficient. The planned ERA MSS system will consist of a net of ground stations (with integral receiving and transmitting parts) and a central processing station to process the data useful for air traffic management. The project is set to begin in the upcoming months.

“ERA provides air traffic management tools that address core challenges like safety, efficiency, profitability and functionality. Its innovative use of proven technologies of multilateration and ADS-B help ANSPs and airport operators ease capacity constraints, enhance safety, improve airspace and ground space efficiencies, and reduce costs,” stated ERA CEO Ondřej Chlost.
