Rostec will begin mass production of the new aerodrome radar systems that provide safe control of aircraft landing. The new equipment will allow to determine the deviation of the aircraft from a given descent trajectory with high accuracy and transmit information to the crew and ground services.
The system created by Rostec is designed to control the air traffic in the proximity zone of aerodromes and allows controlling the landing approach of any type of aircraft. The new radar system will allow for accurate landing, including light aircraft that is not equipped with complex navigation systems, or an aircraft, with one or more failed on-board navigation systems.
The structure of the RSP-2ST (ground controlled approach system) precision approach radar system includes the AORL-1AS (airport surveillance radar) dispatcher radar and the PRL-2ST landing radar. The equipment allows detecting aircrafts at a distance of up to 350 km, tracking them and monitoring the parameters of the motion trajectory relative to stationary objects and moving meteorological events.
“The new development of Rostec will complement the line of modern aerodrome equipment which is already manufactured by the State Corporation for the modernization of aviation infrastructure of Russia. It can be used not only in large, but also in small regional airports due to the relatively low price. The cost of our system is approximately 25 percent lower than the domestic and 75 percent lower than the foreign analogues with comparable characteristics. The start of mass production is planned in the third quarter of 2020”, said the Executive Director of Rostec Oleg Evtushenko.
