Azimut manufacturing company of the Rostec State Corporation has installed DVOR 2000/DME/N 2700 radio beacons in the towns of Vorkuta in the Komi Republic and Apatity in the Murmansk region, as well as in the settlement of Zhigansk in Yakutia. The equipment will assist aircraft with in-flight navigation and landing approaches.
DVOR 2000/DME/N 2700 Doppler VHF Omnidirectional Radio Range is a high-tech product based on modern components for civil aviation airports. It is designed to generate and transmit radio signals that provide an azimuthal navigation system for aircraft equipped with onboard VOR system equipment, and the built-in DME/N 2700 transceiver allows for determining the slant range of the aircraft relative to the installation point.
The main advantage of the product lies in the simplicity of its operation and maintenance, thanks to the possibility of quickly replacing individual units without the need to reconfigure the entire system. The radio beacon is designed for operation at temperatures down to minus 50 degrees Celsius, which guarantees its stable operation in northern regions.
"Our company continues systematic work to equip Russian regions with extreme climates with modern air navigation equipment. The use of DVOR 2000/DME/N 2700 allows reducing aircraft dependence on satellite signals, which can be unstable in the Far North conditions, by providing a continuous and accurate signal from the ground, and also ensures high throughput and safety of air traffic," noted Azimut Deputy CEO Alexey Galchenkov.
Azimut is a leading Russian developer and manufacturer of air navigation systems and complexes for equipping aerodromes and air routes. The company designs, serially manufactures, and delivers "turnkey" communication, navigation, landing, surveillance, and air traffic management automation equipment to civil aviation enterprises. It also develops and implements comprehensive projects for the equipping and re-equipping of aerodromes and air traffic control centers.
