- The United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has
included Indra’s Surface Awareness Initiative (SAI) technology on
its Qualified Product List and it will be able to deploy it for any
of the nation’s 450 airports with staffed air traffic control
towers
- Indra’s solution incorporates a cloud platform, satellite
connections and 5G to enable rapid deployment at airports, to
improve runway safety for the traveling public
- The company has successfully implemented the initial
deployment of its SAI system at Dallas Love Field Airport, one of
the busiest in the country
Indra will supply Surface Awareness Initiative (SAI) systems for
the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the civil
aviation authority that manages the country’s air traffic. The FAA
has approved Indra’s SAI solution, called AeroBOSS, to improve air
traffic control situational awareness and reduce the risk of runway
incursions that have increased globally in recent years. This
solution can be delivered to over 250 FAA staffed air traffic
control towers and to any of the approximately 200 additional
airports managed through the FAA’s Federal Contract Tower program
that request it.

The FAA has included Indra’s SAI technology on its Qualified
Product List (QPL) for its acquisition and deployment at US
airports. This innovative solution uses ADS-B surveillance
technology to receive data on the aircraft’s position and satellite
connections and 5G networks to transmit it and report surface
aircraft movements to air traffic controllers. The system
contributes to comprehensive airport safety management and reduces
the risk of surface incidents.
Indra has successfully completed the initial deployment of its
SAI system at Dallas Love Field Airport, in Texas. This technology
will enhance automatic surface monitoring through the ADS-B
surveillance system and cloud connectivity, while it is also
characterized by its rapid deployment and implementation
capabilities.
Indra’s SAI system allows air traffic controllers to obtain a
comprehensive picture of the situation and the position of aircraft
on the tarmac and runway to effectively prevent incidents and
ensure airport and passenger safety. Indra expects large and
medium-sized airports in the United States to adopt this technology
in the coming years.
Meanwhile, Indra has renewed its exclusive agreement to supply
DME systems to the FAA, through which it has already delivered over
250 sets of equipment. The DME systems guide aircraft during their
approach to the airport and along their routes.
Innovation and efficiency in aviation technology
With the signing of this framework agreement, Indra will secure
its position at the forefront of technological solutions in the US
market, modernizing air traffic, defining the form of flying and
managing the skies of the future, with a pledge to make aviation
even safer and more efficient and sustainable.
In addition to the FAA, Indra provides air navigation aid
systems to the US Air Force and the US Navy.
Indra has equipped more than 11,000 air traffic facilities
around the world and it is one of the few companies in the world
with a portfolio of next-generation solutions that are capable of
managing a flight from gate to gate, from take-off to destination,
while its technology guarantees the safety of 85% of the passengers
who take a flight every day in the world, making it one of the
global leaders within the sector.
