ILS/DME Upgrade Project

The ILS/DME upgrade project was successfully carried out in May 2023. The project involved several key tasks:

  1. A new Radio Frequency (RF) Distribution Unit (DU) was installed at the Localizer.
  2. A new RF Combiner Unit (CU) was installed at the Localizer.
  3. The RF Cables of the 14-element Localizer antenna were replaced.
  4. The Near Field Monitor (NFM) Assembly at the Localizer was renewed.
  5. A new Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) was installed for the ILS.
  6. Technical on the job training was provided on the new Selex DME.

The installation process was carried out by a Selex engineer, who received support from ANSA’s Technical Team. On May 11, 2023, the ILS/DME underwent a flight check conducted by Radiola Ltd. The system was certified for operation on May 12, 2023.
