Leonardo, through its subsidiary Selex ES Inc., will supply the AeroBOSS Runway Incursion Warning System (RIWS) technology at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), part of the portfolio of solutions for the management of airport surfaces, for surveillance, navigation en route, precision approach and landing. The contract includes the supply of hardware and software as well as the integration of the RIWS system on 500 vehicles.
AeroBOSS RIWS warns vehicle drivers of any potential danger before entering the runway area. This technology will help prevent runway raids, improve coordination between vehicles and, more generally, safety.
