Azimuth (part of Rostec Group) has installed modern DVOR 2000/DME/N 2700 radio beacons at three Arctic locations: Vorkuta, Apatity, and Zhigansk. This will allow pilots to safely navigate in flight even with an unstable satellite signal.
The new radio beacons generate and transmit radio signals for aircraft navigation, ensuring accuracy during approach and reducing dependence on GPS. The equipment is designed for extreme temperatures down to -50°C and is easy to operate: nodes can be replaced without completely reconfiguring the system.
Alexey Galchenkov, Deputy General Director of Azimuth, emphasized that DVOR 2000/DME/N 2700 increases the capacity and safety of air traffic in the Arctic, providing a continuous and reliable signal from the ground.
The company's air navigation systems are already successfully operating in Chukotka, the Kuril Islands, Yamal, as well as in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The equipment is also in demand abroad — in Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, and Abkhazia.
