Improving safety in aviation with alternative surveillance
This solution enhances aviation safety by increasing the capacity and resilience of the surveillance infrastructure. It provides an alternative for areas where the current infrastructure cannot deliver adequate surveillance services, while also strengthening resilience in regions covered by traditional surveillance systems.
-
Passive radar: Utilises existing electromagnetic signals to detect and track aircraft without emitting its own signal, improving coverage in infrastructure-limited areas.
-
Active radar: Enhances traditional surveillance capabilities by actively transmitting signals, complementing existing radar networks and increasing robustness.
By combining passive and active radar approaches, this solution ensures more reliable, resilient, and comprehensive surveillance, contributing to overall airspace safety.
