Rannoch Corporation, headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, was a company engaged in research, development, and manufacturing with a focus on radar tracking technologies for airport operations, airspace management, and air defense applications.
The company's principal offering was the AirScene Airport Management solution.
Operating on an international scale, Rannoch competed with various enterprises including ERA (Czech Republic), Sensis Corporation (USA), Park Air Systems AS (Norway), HITT (Netherlands), Lochard (Australia), and Thales (France).
In October 2006, Rannoch invested 6.25 million Euros to acquire ERA, subsequently transferring a significant portion of its development and production activities to ERA’s facility located in Pardubice, Czech Republic. By February 2007, Rannoch had changed its name to Era Corporation. Later, in July 2008, the American firm SRA International purchased ERA for $125.5 million.
AirScene
The AirScene platform provides surveillance by monitoring aircraft and vehicles equipped with transponders both airborne and on airport grounds, offering precise and immediate tracking data. It interprets transmissions from Mode A/C, Mode S, and ADS-B transponders and relays this information to a central processing unit that refreshes positional data roughly every second.
Its remote sensor units are compact and incorporate lightweight GPS along with L-Band antennas, engineered for adaptable deployment across various environmental settings.
