India inks contract with Russia to attain supply of radio equipments for 24 airports
New Delhi/UNI: Russia’s Scientific and Production Corporation 'Radio Technical Systems' (NPO “RTS”) signed a large-scale contract with the Airports Authority of India (AAI) for the supply of radio equipment.
The Russian company will manufacture 34 sets of Instrument Landing System ILS 734 for the modernization of 24 airports in the country.
The Russian manufacturer received the right to conclude a contract based on the results of a global tender, in which, besides NPO “RTS”, some of the world's largest suppliers of radio equipment took part.
The scale of the project led to increased interest of leading manufacturers in the competition.
This deal for the purchase of landing systems has become the largest in the world over the past few years.
“The contract between NPO “RTS” and AAI has become a breakthrough for Russian business in the highly competitive market of ground-based radio equipment in India. There is no doubt that the successful execution of the contract will open up new opportunities for the implementation of joint projects to modernize Indian airport infrastructure,” Russian Ambassador Denis Alipov said, according to a Russian Embassy release.
CEO of NPO “RTS” Aleksandr Dolmatov noted,“NPO “RTS” has established itself as a reliable partner, having implemented dozens of projects for the supply of ground-based radio equipment both in Russia and abroad."
“Customers highly appreciate capabilities of our products, including the instrumental landing system ILS 734, which meets the strictest international requirements and standards, high efficiency in the fulfilment of contractual obligations, high-quality warranty and after-sales service,” he said.
According to the contract, the first part of landing systems ILS 734 must be shipped before November of this year.
Payments within the transaction will be carried out in national currencies.
The instrumental landing system ILS 734 by NPO “RTS” development was certified by the Interstate Aviation Committee.
The system allows for the landing of equipped aircraft with a runway visual range of minimum 50 meters and a decision height of minimum 15 meters. The landing system is subject to increased requirements for the reliability and stability of the output parameters of the equipment.
Scientific and Production Corporation “Radio technical Systems” (NPO “RTS”) was established in May 2003 by a group of developers of landing, navigation and air traffic control systems equipment.
Today, the enterprise fulfills orders of the Federal Air Transport Agency, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the Aviation Base of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation and Roscosmos enterprises. NPO “RTS” cooperates with many airports in Russia and CIS countries.
The Airports Authority of India (AAI) manages 137 airports, including 24 international airports.
AAI also provides air traffic control services throughout the airspace of India and adjacent ocean areas.
