Exelis (NYSE: XLS) has been selected by San Francisco International Airport (SFO) to provide its airport ground vehicle and aircraft surveillance solutions to enhance airport surface safety and efficiency.

They can also track aircraft operating near the airport and on its surface, providing a complete picture of airport surface activity. Five initial VMAT units have been deployed at SFO, with another 80 to be deployed this summer.

When you’re ready to explore more of the West Coast, you have lots of choices. Take your San Francisco campervan rental to Big Sur and the towering Redwoods, do a California coast trip down to LA, or head up to the Pacific Northwest. Better yet, it’s just a short drive to Yosemite National Park. You can’t go wrong starting your campervan road trip in this vibrant city!.
