SRA Subsidiary Successfully Deploys MSS Surveillance System 

FAIRFAX, Va., December 15, 2009 - Era a.s., a subsidiary of SRA International, Inc. (NYSE: SRX), today announced that its MSS ADS-B and multilateration surveillance solution for the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) has been successfully installed at the Dublin Airport and is now in full operational use. The solution uses strategically placed sensors to provide extended coverage of runways, taxiways and aprons, improved automation of aircraft identification and enhanced surveillance in all weather conditions. 

 To manage Dublin Airport's recent growth in traffic, the IAA has invested tens of millions of Euros in new and improved technologies, which resulted in the need for a new comprehensive surveillance solution. With the cost and limitations of traditional radar, the IAA determined that multilateration would provide the best surveillance, as it would seamlessly support its advanced-movement guidance and control system (A-SMGCS), as well as allow for the flexibility of future airport growth. 

 "Dublin, like many airports around the world, was faced with the challenge of implementing a surveillance system at a rapidly changing and expanding airport," said Era Systems Corporation Senior Vice President Kevin Layton. "Due to the scalability of Era's multilateration system, Dublin was able to implement a surveillance system that, at any time in the future, can be modified to provide additional surveillance coverage."

 The deployment in Dublin follows several recent successful Era installations, including systems in Jamaica, Indonesia, Germany, Malaysia and China. 

 Era a.s. provides next-generation air traffic management tools that address core challenges like safety, efficiency, profitability and functionality. Its innovative use of proven next-generation technologies, like multilateration and ADS-B, help air navigation service providers (ANSPs) and airport operators ease capacity constraints; enhance safety; improve airspace and ground space efficiencies; and reduce costs.
