Sensis Corporation Surface Movement Radar to Enhance Air Traffic Controller Situational Awareness at Vienna International Airport

EAST SYRACUSE, NY – November 28, 2006 – Sensis Corporation announced that Austro Control has awarded a contract to supply SMRi, a high-performance surface movement radar, as the principal radar to Vienna International Airport. SMRi will enhance air traffic controllers’ ability to accurately track aircraft and vehicles on the airport surface in all weather conditions.

“Sensis was a clear choice for Austro Control,” said Johann Zemsky, chief operating officer of Austro Control, the Austrian Air Navigation Service Provider. “The superior performance of the company’s MDS surveillance system at Vienna and Innsbruck makes us confident that Sensis will provide a radar of the highest standards.”

The X-Band Sensis SMRi features high resolution and frequency diversity to enhance detectability in all weather conditions, including heavy rain. SMRi exceeds the ICAO standard for detection in heavy rain of 16mm/hour by providing reliable detection in 100mm/hour rainfall. Further, the radar’s fully solid state design provides high reliability data and lower life-cycle and maintenance costs.

“Sensis SMRi has a flexible architecture that seemlessly integrates with legacy, new and future surveillance infrastructures,” said Marc Viggiano, president, Sensis Air Traffic Systems.

In Addition to Vienna, SMRi is being deployed to Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney Airports in Australia. Earlier this year, Sensis announced that the FAA has purchased 12 SMRi that are being deployed to airports as part of the Airport Surface Detection Equipment, Model X (ASDE-X) program – Bradley International Airport (Windsor Locks, CT) is the first ASDE-X airport operational with SMRi.
