Flight Safety Technologies, Inc. Completes First Test of UNICORN(TM) Radar Component
16 Août 2005 - 7:39PM
Business Wire
Flight Safety Technologies, Inc. (AMEX:FLT) completed its planned
first test of the UNICORN(TM) collision alerting radar at the
Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) in Marietta, Georgia. In
this developmental test, a partial antenna array was mounted on top
of a tower at GTRI to measure the detection performance of the
radar against a test aircraft flying pre-determined patterns
overhead. Detections were achieved, as predicted, of the twin-
engine Aerostar test aircraft. Additionally, detections were
confirmed of other aircraft landing at the nearby Dobbins Air
Reserve Base. In this test, experimental software was used both to
control the pulse generation of the radar modules and to perform
data acquisition. This software design determines the radar tracks
through post processing and analysis of the receiver data. While
this analysis is underway, some detections were strong enough to
see without any integration of the received data. About twenty-five
test patterns were flown during three separate flights on two days
of flight testing. This first tower test of the UNICORN(TM) sensor
was completely successful in producing the data sought by the
company. The measured performance of the system as tested will be
determined by analyzing the data during the next few weeks. We wish
to acknowledge our contractors GTRI, Microwave Solutions Limited
and Linwave, for their valuable contributions to the UNICORN(TM)
program. The UNICORN(TM) collision avoidance system is being
developed primarily as a candidate capability for unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs) planned for government use in the U.S. national
airspace. About Flight Safety Technologies, Inc. The company is
currently participating in three advanced technology development
efforts aimed at enhancing aviation safety, security, and
efficiency. In addition to the UNICORN(TM) airborne collision
avoidance radar initiative, the company is working on its
SOCRATES(TM) airport based technology for wake vortex detection,
and TIICM(TM) technology for protection of airliners against
certain terrorist missiles. SOCRATES(TM) will be deployed at Denver
International Airport for a 16 beam test during September, 2005.
TIICM(TM) is being analyzed in a simulation model at Georgia tech
Research Institute (GTRI). The company is cautiously optimistic
based on preliminary results involving 30,000 simulated missile
attacks on a 737 type aircraft. "Safe Harbor" statement under the
