ANPC Completes Installation Of Transponder Landing System In Antarctica

Completion Celebration To Be Held March 7th

Advanced Navigation and Positioning Corporation will celebrate the completion of the installation of its Transponder Landing System (TLS) at Teniente Marsh Base on King George Island in Antarctica on March 7th.

In November 2009, the Brazilian Air Force selected ANPC’s TLS—a ground-based guidance system capable of supplying vertical and horizontal approach guidance to terrain-challenged airports, while simultaneously utilizing existing airborne equipment to minimize operator costs—on the basis of performance following a competitive evaluation of the traditional Instrument Landing System (ILS).

“Our TLS is a green alternative to traditional Instrument Landing Systems, as it uses less energy, requires less maintenance, and enhances safety, while having a substantially smaller footprint at the airfield,” says ANPC’s CEO Jeff Mains. “ANPC’s efforts are also giving scientists and other humanitarians more access to Antarctica to research environmental trends and explore the ecological richness of this remarkable continent.”
