Airspace deviations reported and resolved faster with Frequentis Comsoft

Luxembourg Air Navigation Administration (ANA Luxembourg) has enhanced its surveillance data quality, further supporting EUROCONTROL airspace regulations. The automated sensor recording, monitoring and evaluation system from Frequentis Comsoft increases the speed of detecting, reporting and resolving aircraft identification issues, subsequently improving airspace safety. All air navigation service providers (ANSPs) are responsible for demonstrating their adherence to current regulations and Frequentis Comsoft’s RAPS-SMD (Sensor monitoring display) fulfils this commitment in support of the Commission Implementing Regulation.

On 22 September, the interception of a non-cooperative drone was successfully demonstrated for the first time in a field test at Hamburg Airport as part of the FALKE project, funded by the BMVI (Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure).

The unauthorised intrusion of drones or Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) into control zones means an increasing threat to the operation of commercial airports. The responsible parties at the airport are faced with the challenge of quickly detecting and reacting to the illegal entry of these small and agile flying objects in order to minimise any impact to airport operations.

Using the example of Hamburg Airport, the consortium partners of the “FALKE” project are developing and demonstrating their overall technical and organisational concept for the defence against illegally operating drones. FALKE provides an automated and standardised solution that can also be used at other German airports, considering all areas of competence and responsibility. In addition to the Frequentis Group, the German Federal Police, DFS, Lufthansa, Hamburg Airport, the Hensoldt Group, and the Professorship for Electrical Measurement Technology at the Helmut Schmidt University (HSU) Hamburg are involved in the project.
