Implementation of wide-area multilateration reduces separation requirements in Namibia’s airspace.

The Namibia Wam system was supplied by Era, of the Czech Republic, and employs 36 widely separated and unmanned ground stations that listen for aircraft transponder replies to radar interrogations and then retransmit those replies to a central processing station.
