LONDON - Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) announced that its Europe-based
air traffic control systems subsidiary, Park Air Systems, has been awarded a
contract by the Brazilian Airspace Control System Implementation Commission
(CISCEA) to supply and install complete UHF/VHF T6 extended range
communication stations at multiple sites across Southern Brazil.
The contract valued at US$19M was awarded following an international
competitive tender process.
Northrop Grumman Park Air Systems will provide a turnkey solution that
will integrate the company’s PAE T6 UHF/VHF range of equipment, manufactured
in the UK, with locally supplied equipment including equipment shelters,
standby power, masts and antennas into a complete extended range
communication system.
“This win is an outstanding example of the strength of our technology
leadership and capabilities in this highly competitive market to provide
complex air traffic management communication systems for demanding
environments,” said Charles Houseago, managing director of Northrop Grumman
Park Air Systems. “We look forward to working with the Brazilian air traffic
control authorities and to delivering this world-class solution.”
The communication stations will be installed at more than 20 sites across
Southern Brazil in the second Integrated Centre for Air Defence and Air
Traffic Control (CINDACTA II) region and will integrate the new stations into
the customers’ existing infrastructure. CINDACTA II is one of the four main
air traffic control centres administrated by Brazil’s Departamento de
Controle do Espaco Aereo (DECEA). At the completion of this contract,
Northrop Grumman Park Air Systems will have equipped more than 75 sites
delivering communications services across half of Brazil’s airspace.
The five-year contract is expected to be completed in 2014. The award
follows on from previous contracts awarded to Northrop Grumman Park Air
Systems in recent years in Brazil.
