Design software RM-VHF-001

for aeronautics

An instrument landing system (ILS) allows aircraft to land in low-visibility by providing guidance by emitting a modulated signal. The ILS signal can be dangerously corrupted by the presence of big hangers and buildings in the vicinity of runways, and provide unexpected multipaths on the ILS signal. IDS provide a combined technical consultancy and smart material solution to tackle this problem. The technical consultancy for the electromagnetic design of airports, supported by the EMACS EM prediction software, a CAE tool specifically developed to support the user in the electromagnetic design of airports in accordance with the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) normatives. The smart material, RM-VHF-001, is a thin, lightweight, absorbing material tuned to the ILS frequency and certified according to civil regulations. It has been engineered for environmental requirements and can be customized with external camouflage to help it fit in aesthetically with its surroundings. Most common materials and decorations are available and custom requirements can be satisfied on request.
