Getting a head start

Article Abstract:

S and S-TUG has introduced the TMD-PLC series of air starters in 1st qtr 2001 with capacities ranging from 68 to 181km/min. Power is provided by a four-cycle Detroit Diesel electronically controlled engine and GHH compressor coupled to a Programmable Logic Controller. The system will provide maintenance diagnostics and reduce the number of parts/connections in the TMD electric system. The operator/diagnostic interface incorporates self-diagnostic operational checks of all circuits, allowing a problem to be isolated to the specific circuit and component causing the problem.

Runway safety back on track

Article Abstract:

Sensis/Raytheon's contract for the Federal Aviation Administration's ASDE- X project has been held up for a month due to the unsuccessful protest by Northrop Grumman. The initial US$10 million contract award includes delivery of one ASDE-X prototype for testing at Orlando International and options for up to 29 ASDE-X systems. The FAA chose the Sensis-led team over Northrop Grumman and Lockheed martin to bridge the gap before full implementation of the Airport Movement Area Safety System program, expected to be finished in Nov 2002.
