Jun 21, 2016 (newstodate): Russia's air safety and ATM services will receive a strong boost by the introduction of ADS-B control over its airspace.
A group of stakeholders including Iridium Communications and Ansps Nav Canada, the Irish Aviation Authority, ENAV of Italy and Naviair of Denmark have set up a joint venture, Aireon to provide space-based surveillance over Russia's oceanic and polar regions using ADS-B receivers carried as hosted payloads on new Iridium Next satellites.
The space-based ADS-B service is slated to operating by 2018 after the launch of a large number of satellites, the first of which already to be launched later this year.
With the full implementation of the coming new satellite-based ADS-B control, Russia's vast airspace including the polar sectors could be fully monitored as an effort to secure air safety and precise navigation.
As one step, Aireon has already signed MoUs with Russian companies JSC Azimut, provider of radio communications and ATC automation systems to the State Air Traffic Management Corporation, and JSC Infocom-Avia operating aviation information services in Russia.
