On Kunashir, the southernmost island of the Greater Kuril Ridge, a new digital AORL-AMI 2700 radar has gone into operation at Mendeleyevo Airport. The equipment was installed by Azimut (part of Rostec), the state corporation reported.
The installation of the AORL-AMI 2700 in Mendeleyevo will help solve one of the most pressing problems of air service with the island - frequent dense fog, due to which the airport operated intermittently. Our radar \"sees\" aircraft even in bad weather, which allows air traffic controllers to manage aircraft regardless of meteorological conditions
The new equipment increases the airport's capacity, improves the quality of information exchange with aircraft, and reduces the workload on air traffic control services. At the same time, the radar features compact dimensions and low power consumption.
Similar Azimut developments are already operating in Chukotka, on other islands of the Kuril Ridge, in Yamal, and in other areas of the Far North.
The new AORL-AMI 2700 radar is compact: all the electronics of the primary and secondary channels fit into a single cabinet. Thanks to this, the radar can be installed in a container directly on the mast. In the antenna, the emitter was moved outside the beam - this improves the signal and eliminates interference. The built-in generator makes it possible to check the entire processing path. There are no sliding contacts in the drive: the signal is transmitted contactlessly, which reduces the risk of breakdowns. The angle-of-rotation sensors are connected directly, without backlash, so the accuracy is high.
