TSAMTO, February 3. From February 7 to 8, Almaz-Antey Concern of East Kazakhstan Region will take part in the jubilee X National Exhibition and Forum of Civil Aviation Infrastructure NAIS 2023.
The event will take place in the year of the 100th anniversary of Russian civil aviation and the 50th anniversary of the Unified Air Traffic Management System of the Russian Federation (EU ATM).
In the Moscow Crocus Expo IEC, the holding and its subsidiaries will demonstrate the latest full-scale samples and models of various equipment, as well as some innovative solutions in the field of air navigation.
In particular, PJSC NPO Almaz will present for the first time a remote control center (DDP), which is designed to provide airfield dispatching services at a remote airfield. In the future, this development of the Concern will be able to replace the traditional command and control centers located directly at airfields.
For visual observation of the air and ground situation at remote airports, the DDP is able to provide "View from the window" modes (observation of the maneuvering area, runway, aprons, as well as airspace in the airport area), "Binoculars" (detailed observation of the objects of interest), "Panorama" (displaying additional information about objects observations in the air and on the ground, weather conditions).
At the moment, only a little more than a dozen DDPS for air traffic control have been implemented and successfully operated around the world through the use of autonomous surveillance modules installed at remote airfields. In Russia today, the DDP is being created for airfield dispatching services from the Yakut ATS Center at Magan Airfield, which is located on the left bank of the Lena River 13 kilometers northwest of Yakutsk and has a low intensity of flights. The implementation of this pilot project will further significantly reduce the financial costs of equipping regional airfields without compromising the quality of airfield dispatching services and reducing the level of flight safety.
PJSC NPO Almaz will also demonstrate a set of automation tools for the activities of the airport "Aviportal", full-scale samples of the modular command and control room of the KMBZ Topaz series, an on-board transmitter for equipping unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) "Mosquito" and a mobile radio beacon "Prime". Specialists will be able to get acquainted with the models of the Doppler meteorological locator "DMRL-3", the radar-optical complex for ensuring the safety of objects and neutralization of the UAV "ROSC-1", the highway radar complex "Sopka-2", the airfield radar complex "LIRA-A10" and the airfield radar complex "RLK-10RA".
JSC "VNIIRA" will present the flight information service dispatcher console, mock-ups of a mobile command and control center, a ground station of automatic dependent broadcast surveillance AZN-B 1090 ES HC-1 with a sector antenna, a monopulse secondary radar "Aurora-2" and a full-scale sample of the transponder "Mongoose".
In addition, the Concern's co-exhibitors at NAIS 2023 will be Azimut JSC and SPE "Spectrum". These companies will demonstrate samples of products that the holding uses comprehensively in the re-equipment of airfields and ATS centers. Azimut JSC will present the VHF and UHF radio equipment of the 2000 series, the DF 2000 automatic direction finder, the DVOR 2000 azimuth Doppler beacon, the ILS 2700 instrument landing system, the VOR rangefinder beacon, the Krona-M monopulse secondary radar, the S-band airfield radar with a built-in monopulse secondary channel AMI 2700, the automated workplace of the control dispatcher air traffic and voice communication switching system VCS 2700. Information security and biometric security systems will also be presented.
SPE "Spektr" will demonstrate an ultra-high-precision correction station of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), a complex of ground and flight checks with an external vector measurement station, a GLONASS-certified aviation location tracker in the Russian Federation - "Spektr-GLONASS", small-sized modules for unmanned aircraft systems: a complex of ground and flight checks, on-board GLS/GNSS receiver-tracker.
The Concern's specialists will also tell the guests and participants of NAIS 2023 about the Concern's leading role in the creation and modernization of the EU ATM.
According to Yan Novikov, General Director of Almaz-Antey Concern of East Kazakhstan Region, "today we can say with confidence that the system of organizing safe air traffic in Russia has been brought to a fundamentally new level." According to him, as part of the implementation of the EU ATM Modernization Program of Russia by the end of last year, the Concern in close cooperation with Rosaviation, FSUE "State ATM Corporation" and enterprises of Russian industry created and re-equipped 12 enlarged centers of the unified air traffic management system (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Rostov, Khabarovsk, Magadan, Irkutsk, Novosibirsk Krasnoyarsk, Samara, Tyumen, Yekaterinburg, Yakutsk) and three special centers (Kaliningrad, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and Simferopol). "Thus, as the lead contractor, we have completed a large–scale project for the construction, reconstruction and equipping of enlarged centers of the Unified Air Traffic Management System in Russia," he said. "In the current conditions, this is especially relevant and important: we use and implement only domestic advanced technologies, equipment and software," said Jan Novikov. He recalled that the Concern supplied equipment and performed work in the interests of the Russian air navigation system in the amount of over 100 billion rubles. "As a result of the complex of tests, automated ATM systems and their subsequent operation have confirmed high technical characteristics and functionality that ensure comfortable work for personnel in conditions of any intensity of air traffic and flight safety," the head of the Concern said. Yan Novikov also noted that last year the enlarged ATM center in St. Petersburg was put into operation and the re-equipment of the domestic automated ATM system of the enlarged EU ATM center in Rostov-on-Don was completed.
Dmitry Savitsky, Deputy General Director for products for the aeronautical system and dual-use products of the Concern, said that as part of solving the tasks facing the domestic civil aviation, the holding was able to create unique promising systems with the highest degree of reliability and efficiency in all conditions. "If we talk about the Concern's experience in the modernization of the EU ATM, it is important to understand that all domestic automated air traffic control systems, both airfield and district, created during the 70-80 years of the twentieth century, were developed and produced by enterprises that later became part of the Almaz–Antey Concern of East Kazakhstan Region," Dmitry Savitsky noted.
The EU ATM of the Russian Federation serves a territory with a total area of over 26 million square kilometers, the length of routes is more than 800 thousand kilometers. For these purposes, more than a hundred air traffic control automation systems, about 800 units of surveillance equipment, as well as about two thousand units of navigation and landing equipment have been installed.
Almaz-Antey Concern of East Kazakhstan Region JSC is the main executor of the EU ATM modernization, within the framework of which the holding creates modern monitoring, control and communication facilities, as well as uses all domestic scientific, technical and industrial potential.
