ERAM provides the foundation for NextGen
capabilities, which will increase capacity,
improve efficiency, and provide environmental
benefits for passengers, the airlines, general
aviation and other users of the aviation system.
It is now fully operational at the Salt Lake
City, Seattle, Denver, Minneapolis and
Albuquerque en route centers, covering
approximately 1.5 million square miles of
airspace.
“We are honored to accept this award and share
it with our partners – the FAA, the National Air
Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) and the
Professional Aviation Safety Specialists
(PASS),” said Stephanie C. Hill, president of
Lockheed Martin’s Information Systems & Global
Solutions-Civil division. “ERAM is providing
tremendous benefits to both air traffic
controllers and users of the National Airspace
System.”
Lockheed Martin has supported the FAA for more
than 50 years. The IS&GS-Civil division serves
various non-defense U.S. government agencies,
international governments and regulated
commercial industries. It is responsible for a
wide array of information technology systems and
services in areas including transportation,
health care, energy, information and cyber
security, extreme environments, citizen
