Ground distance measuring equipment

Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) is a ground based navigational aid for use by aircraft belonging to our NORMARC Navaids family. Signals transmitted between an aircraft and a DME ground beacon enable the aircraft to accurately determine its distance from the beacon. The DME is used at an airport or en-route, and is one of the primary navigation aids in an airways system. Our DME solution is an innovative and cost effective approach which provides outstanding operations features, making an extensive use of new technologies and user-friendly graphical interface for both local and remote monitoring.
