Event details

Intersoft Electronics and Skyguide have developed SkyRF®, the drone-based CNS measurement service that addresses the challenges of CNS performance analysis and certification.
SkyRF® can measure CNS system parameters in a single 10-minute flight, and can even combine the measurement of different CNS, e.g. ILS and DME. Traditional test flights cannot compete with the repeatability of SkyRF®’s pre-programmed trajectories. The drone complements existing ground measurements by reducing ground clutter as it flies at altitude.
As a result, the correlation between SkyRF® (i.e. ground measurements) and test flights is very good, and test flights can be reduced to one campaign per year. This reduces CO2 emissions and noise pollution by 50%.
During this session we will report and explain the progress of CNS measurements by drone, and exactly how SkyRF® delivers this positive environmental impact and what the operational and financial benefits are for air navigation service providers and military CNS users.
