MOSCOW, November 17. /TASS/. The United Instrument Manufacturing Corporation (UIMC - a Rostec subsidiary) has developed a system of airspace monitoring for more accurate tracking of the movement of aircraft in the dense traffic, the corporation sources told TASS on Tuesday. According to them, no serious investment in the modernisation of radars will be required to out the system into operation. The defense industry sources said that given the need to monitor a large number of aircraft the radar stations’ data are partially lost. The novelty created within the framework of the Rubakha research and development project, will be able to cope with the information overload by providing a more expansive and reliable picture, the developers say.

"The novelty is unique in new ways of aggregating the air traffic situation information. In the conditions of monitoring a large number of aircraft, including when they are flying in tight formation, the new system makes it possible to qualitatively reduce the air situation data loss, improve the quality of display and functioning of radar systems," Igor Bresler, director general of the system developer - Research Institute of Information Technology (NIIIT), is quoted by the defense industry sources. At the same time, Bresler said, "The qualitative improvement of air monitoring does not require major computational power." According to the developers, the introduction of the Rubakha system will not require radical re-equipment of the facilities - the system can be integrated into the existing automated air traffic situation monitoring complexes. According to UIMC Deputy Director General Andrey Chendarov, the system can be used not only in the military, but also in civil aviation. "The novelty considerably adds functionality to the existing radar stations," he said. UIMC was established in March 2014 within State Corporation Rostec as a specialist company uniting research and production facilities of Russia’s radio and electronic sector. UIMC within Rostec is a leading holding company developing and introducing computing technology and telecommunications equipment. The company currently accounts for more than 60% of the supply of communications and control equipment for the needs of the Defense Ministry and other power-wielding agencies.
