Thales to Supply Kazakhstan's Almaty Airport with A-SMGCS
Kazakhstan's air navigation
service provider, RSE Kazaeronavigatsia, has contracted with Thales to modernize
the navigation-aid system at its Almaty airport that will include installing an
A-SMGCS (advanced-surface movement guidance and control system).
Thales'
STREAMS A-SMGCS connects an X-Band radar, provided by
Terma of Denmark, to a Thales display and processing system. It also
includes ten Thales
Mosquito vehicle localization systems and two of its AS 680 ADS-B (automatic
dependent surveillance-broadcast) ground stations, which is the basic building
block of the continent-wide ADS-B system deployed by Thales in Australia. The AS
680 is also the building block of Thales's in-house developed multilateration
surveillance system.
Besides A-SMGCS, Thales also
will install two of its ILS (instrument landing systems), a DME (distance
measuring equipment) station, and a DVOR (Doppler VHF omnidirectional range),
also with DME, at the airport.
Thales says STREAMS is already
operational at several airports including South Korea's JeJu, Frankfurt and
Munich, and is currently being deployed at five French airports along with South
Korea's Incheon and Bangkok. 07-07-2007. |
