Improving overall safety and efficiency

A turnkey solution for automatically identifying calling aircraft on a radar screen

CERTIUM Locate with a single R&S® DF-ATC-S radio direction finder at an airport displays the approach of calling aircraft. It is mainly used for approach traffic to help air traffic controllers with quick and reliable aircraft identification. Upper area control uses multiple direction finders combined with a CERTIUM Locate server for precise geolocation of calling aircraft. This information is distributed to the air traffic controller radar displays. CERTIUM Locate is used by:

  • Small airports as a radar replacement system for homing services
  • Airports with radar systems for approach and aerodrome traffic 
  • Large airports and air traffic service providers to geolocate calling aircraft for increased efficiency and security
  • Emergency and rescue centers to locate the source of emergency calls
