U.S. Federal Aviation Administration selects Saab Sensis for Airport Surface
Surveillance Capability Program

Saab Sensis Corporation, a U.S. subsidiary of the defence and security company
Saab, has been selected by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for
the Airport Surface Surveillance Capability (ASSC) program. FAA has
incrementally funded MUSD 5 (MSEK 34) of the MUSD 54 (MSEK 370) five year
contract. In addition, options for deliveries beyond the five year period are
valued at MUSD 65 (MSEK 442), for a total contract value of MUSD 119 (MSEK 825).

ASSC is a program that will bring enhanced surface situational awareness and
advanced warning of potential runway incursions to nine U.S. airports for
increased safety and efficiency, including options for additional sites. Each
ASSC deployment will incorporate Saab Sensis multilateration, safety logic
conflict detection and alerting software, air traffic controller working
positions, and recording/playback functionality. ASSC will process Automatic
Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B) data along with other sensor sources
for a single, fused view of the airport runways and taxiways. In addition, the
flexible nature of the ASSC system architecture enables future airport surface
safety enhancements, such as Runway Status Lights (RWSL), and airport surface
movement data distribution to other approved systems and users.

The FAA has indicated the following airports to receive ASSC: Ted Stevens
Anchorage International Airport (Alaska), Andrews Air Force Base (Maryland),
Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (Kentucky), Cleveland Hopkins
Airport (Ohio), Kansas City International Airport (Missouri), Louis Armstrong
New Orleans International Airport (Louisiana), Pittsburgh International Airport
(Pennsylvania), Portland International Airport (Oregon), and San Francisco
International Airport (California).

“Through ASSC, Saab Sensis will draw on its successful ASDE-X program and strong
working relationship with the FAA to improve the surface safety at nine more
U.S. airports. The system uses technologies already certified for use in the
National Airspace System for an efficient, cost-effective solution,” said Ken
Kaminski, vice president and general manager of Saab Sensis. “This program
further strengthens Saab Sensis’ position as the world leader in Advanced
Surface Movement Guidance and Control Systems and surface conflict detection and
alerting with more than 50 sites worldwide.”

Saab Sensis has deployed Airport Surface Detection Equipment, Model X (ASDE-X),
the FAA’s primary runway situational awareness system, to 35 major U.S. airports
and is the prime contractor for the RWSL program with 23 airports under
contract. The company is also participating in the FAA’s Low Cost Ground
Surveillance program. Internationally, the company is deploying or has deployed
Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control Systems to nine airports and
surface multilateration at 18 additional airports.
