Marshall Aerospace and Defence Group has awarded Systems Interface with the contract for the design, supply, installation and commissioning of a replacement Instrument Landing System (ILS) and co-located Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) at Cambridge City Airport in the UK.
The new NORMARC 7000 ILS system will replace the airport’s end-of-life equipment. It will consist of: Two Frequency Dual Transmitter Localizer System, 12-Element Two Frequency Localizer Antenna System, Single Frequency Glidepath System and side band reference Glidepath Antenna System and a NORMARC Low Power DME. The complete system include remote control and monitoring and remote maintenance and monitoring. Systems Interface previously replaced the airport’s end-of-life Non Directional Beacon (NDB) in 2016 and continues to provide an annual support service.
Airport Director, Kevan Craskem, explained, “We want to ensure pilots have access to the latest navigational aids and a new ILS ensures we maintain the highest levels of safety for aircraft using Cambridge City Airport that we can.”
