Azimuth, with the support of the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, has completed the development of the MVR-L 2700 monopulse radar. The device is designed for air space monitoring in the vicinity of airports. During certification trials, the radar demonstrated double the operating range compared to regulatory requirements. This was reported in the press service of the Rostec Group.
The Federal Service for Intellectual Property has already registered a patent for this solution. The radar is capable of tracking aircraft both near aerodromes and on distant routes—outside of standard areas of responsibility. Switching between modes is software-controlled, at the operator’s command, and all data is automatically transmitted to air traffic control centres.
“In aerodrome mode, the MVR-L 2700 demonstrated a range of 400 kilometres, when the minimum requirement is 160 kilometres. These parameters are on par with the best global counterparts,” noted Stanislav Khramov, Director of R&D Project Management at Azimuth.
The tests took place at the Penza Air Traffic Services Centre of the Central Volga Air Navigation branch with the participation of independent experts who confirmed the stated characteristics. The radar is resistant to extreme temperatures (from −50 °C to +50 °C), which allows it to be used in any climatic conditions in vast northern regions.
The implementation of the MVR-L 2700 is a significant advancement in the development of Russia’s aviation infrastructure. The technology not only enhances flight safety but also reduces the workload on air traffic controllers through the automation of key processes.
