TERMINAL AREA RADAR COMPLEX “RC-10RA”
Description
Terminal Area Radar Complex “RC-10RA” is intended for equipping regional airports and provides detection and coordinate determination with subsequent transfer of air situation information to ATC centers for the purpose of monitoring and ensuring air traffic control in regional airports.
“RC-10RА” ensures:
» aircraft detection and coordinate determination via primary channel;
» detection and coordinate determination of aircraft equipped with transponders operating in RBS modes within the coverage area of the TARC;
» reception and processing of supplementary information from aircraft equipped with transponders operating in RBS modes;
» matching of coordinate and supplementary information of primary and secondary channels;
» output of radar data regarding aircraft position (slant range and azimuth) detected via primary channel to ATC systems;
» output of the following secondary radar data regarding aircraft position in RBS mode to ATC systems: slant range, azimuth, barometric altitude, aircraft number (identification code), special purpose identification (SPI) signals and alarm signals.
Composition of “RC-10RA”
» antenna-feeder device, comprising antennas of primary and secondary channels;
» transmitting-receiving equipment of primary and secondary channels;
» radar information processing equipment;
» control and monitoring equipment with remote operation mode;
» means for interfacing with data transfer channels;
» UPS;
» temperature control system;
» security and fire alarm system;
» remote terminal for control and monitoring of the TARC, for displaying of air situation within the coverage area of the TARC;
» test responder;
» SPTA set;
» set of operational documents.
Optional addition: ATC AS “TOPAZ”.
Advantages of "RC-10RA":
