SubscribeTurnkey Upgrade Of Navigational & Meteorological Equipment For Oxford Airport: ILS, DME, NDB, AWOS
Systems Interface has completed a Turnkey project for Oxford Airport involving the upgrade of Navigational and Meteorological equipment, with full system integration, project management, installation and commissioning.
Navigational Aids: ILS, DME and NDB
The navigational aids supplied by Systems Interface include a new ILS, DME and NDB system. The ILS consists of a Dual Sideband Reference Glidepath and Dual Frequency Localiser supplied by Park Air Systems, Norway. The DME is a Fernau 2020. The beacon is a Nautel Vector 125, the first NDB of this type in Europe. The Vector combines state-of-the-art technology with the proven reliability of all Nautels products. The system uses a unique NDB-ATU combination that greatly improves on the conventional NDB design, and makes use of modern serial communications.
Meteorological Equipment: Automatic Weather Observation Station (AWOS)
The Meteorological equipment, supplied by Telvent Netherlands B.V comprises a full Automatic Weather Observation Station (AWOS) complete with cloud based Ceilometer and Forward Scatter RVR Sensors. All the equipment will be monitored through a Data Processing Server and workstations.
This important project will enable Oxford Airport to grow from a training/business airport to a key regional airport. Richard Ingless, of Cyrrus Associates, responsible for overall project management said: “This project is vital for the expansion of Oxford Airport. We have worked with Systems Interface on many occasions in the past and they are a professional company with a good reputation. This project has very exacting timescales and we wanted a company that we knew could deliver.”
