Sep 30, 2010 (newstodate): Northrop Grumman Corporation's Norway-based air traffic management subsidiary, Northrop Grumman Park Air Systems has landed a substantial contract by the Czech Air Navigation Services to supply and install an electronic flight strip system for the control tower at Prague Ruzyne International Airport.
The EFS system automates the production, distribution and administrative management of flight plan information and other air traffic control data and replaces the paper strip systems previously used by air traffic controllers.
The EFS can also provide data integrity checking and ease the working environment of air traffic controllers and paves the way for the application of advanced features such as Controller Pilot Data Link Communications.
Northrop Grumman Park Air Systems has earlier delivered surface movement radar, advanced surface movement guidance and control systems and simulator equipment for installation at Prague Ruzyne Airport.
