FAA orders Northrop Grumman ground surveillance system for Reno airport

The contract is for the installation of a radar-based LCGS system at Reno airport, Nevada, and includes options for installation at additional airports. The company says the system is important at small and medium-size airports, where air traffic controllers currently rely only on their "out-of-the-window" view of surface traffic as the primary means for avoiding conflicts and maintaining operational capacity and safety.
