Technology gives good cover to air safety

Chennai: While we are yet to get over mourning the loss our fellow citizens who died on the Indian Coast Guard Dornier flight last year, disaster has struck again with the missing Indian Air Force courier flight, AN-32.

Flight crashes are continuously on the rise in our country. Experts believe the age of aircraft, wear and tear of components and slow updates and maintenance to be the reasons for crashes and flight halts while on the air.

Radar is an flight detection system that uses radio waves to determine the range, angle and speed of flights.

A radar system consists of a transmitter producing radio waves, an emitting antenna, a receiving antenna to capture any reflected signals from flights in the path of the emitted signal, a receiver and processor to determine properties of the objects.
The signals reflected from the flights will reveal all the details about the current location of the flight.
