Solution Provider and Consultant to the Air Traffic Management Domain

The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has awarded COMSOFT to perform ADS-B roll-out for 14 sites across India.

Among a prominent list of competitors AAI has selected the German surveillance expert COMSOFT to perform ADS-B installations across the country of India plus the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea. From March on a network of 14 ground stations is distributed across the South-Asian country delivering air surveillance in non-radar air space. Fourteen national and international airports in the North, South, East and West are equipped with two sensors each in dual-redundant configuration delivering target information to the individually linked ATC automation system. Including ADS-B technology in the overall surveillance strategy will increase efficiency and safety in all operational procedures and will supplement the radar coverage which is restricted by terrain and obstacles.

No maintenance, high reliability as well as high performance were key aspects of the chosen system, which are offered by the unique design of the COMSOFT ground station. Both a local and a central monitoring and control system are integrated allowing for remote status monitoring and maintenance.

COMSOFT’s Quadrant is the core module of each ground station offering a high performance RF front-end combined with advanced signal processing techniques. Its excellent long range performance makes it ideally suited to the operational requirements. Quadrant generally exceeds a range of 250 NM.

COMSOFT GmbH was established in 1979 and has been active in the ATC domain for over 20 years. The company enjoys a worldwide reputation in this market.
