Drones for flight inspections of navigational aids

CURSIR produces innovative drone-based solutions for flight tests of navigational aids
and airports inspections.

The solution is designed to cover the main profiles and parameters of ILS, VOR, RDF, PAPI, Runway Lights, and MLAT.

CURSIR follows the standards and recommended practices of ICAO manuals and specifications (ICAO Doc. 8071, Doc. 9157, Annex 10, 14)
for aeronautical telecommunications.

Types of systems for checking

ILS inspection

NAVAID calibration drone is a unique and groundbreaking tool for flight tests, necessary for commissioning and regular maintenance of instrument landing systems (ILS) of all categories. 

ILS system

PAPI and Lights inspection

CURSIR designed the solution for PAPI calibration and runway lighting testing applying UAV. A high viewpoint, a precise position control system, and software are advantages for efficient data analysis.

PAPI

VOR inspection

CURSIR solution for VOR tests brings data previously available only with flight inspection aircraft. Thus, the solution improves ground checks by effectively complementing the maintenance personnel tools.

DVOR

RDF inspection

CURSIR offers a groundbreaking tool for RDF units calibration and maintenance – the NAVAID calibration drone. CURSIR solution forms reports and graphs with the measurements RDF maintenance teams are using now.
