Alexandria, VA – September 16, 2005 – Rannoch received a contract to supply and install an Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) system at Cairo International Airport. Under contract to HITT(www.HITT.nl) the system will provide surveillance as part of a complete Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (ASMGCS). The overall project includes an X-band surface movement radar, a vehicle tracking system, six controller and traffic monitoring positions, one technical working position, and a recording and replay system.

In 2003, Cairo International Airport handled over 8 million passengers and 86 thousand aircraft movements. The airport is undergoing expansion with a new terminal, which will be capable of handling 11 million passengers by 2007. “The AirScene system being deployed at Cairo uses the company’s field proven, state-of-the-art technology,” commented Rannoch’s Project Manager, Martin Schmidt-Bremer Jr. “Over 200 AirScene sensor systems are operating at airports world-wide and have accumulated over 2 million hours of operation, which is a testament to the quality, design and reliability of our technology.”
