DeWITT — Saab Sensis technology is now up and running at Dubai International Airport.
Sensis is a subsidiary of Saab AB, a Swedish defense and security company. The technology deployed in Dubai, the company’s surface multilateration system, provides air traffic controllers with surveillance of aircraft operating on the airport’s surface.
Dubai International is the 13th busiest airport in the world and the busiest in the Middle East, according to Sensis. Nearly 100 sites around the world use Sensis’ multilateration system for surveillance.
Sensis, based in DeWitt, employs about 600 people at eight locations and serves more than 60 customers in 35 countries. It has about 500 employees in Central New York.
The company provides sensor technologies, radar systems, modeling, and simulation for defense, civil aviation, airport, and airline customers. Saab bought Sensis last year for $150 million.
