M10S is a new generation Mode-S MSSR designed and manufactured by NRTS CZ and NRPL in full compliance with ICAO and Eurocontrol standards. It is intended for air traffic control cooperative surveillance in accordance with elementary and enhanced Mode-S specifications. It was designed using the latest, best-known technological improvements. M10S can be used either stand-alone or can be easily integrated with PSR, ADS-B and MLAT systems. In this case, a common CMS will display status and performance parameters of all systems simultaneously and PPI screen will display combined targets processed by advanced built-in tracking system.
M10S is highly flexible, high performance turnkey solution with open architecture easily adaptable to customer requirements and needs of different sites, such as communication and maintenance facilities. Full Mode-S functionalities were certified by CAA of the Czech Republic, a member of Eurocontrol, and field proven by numerous installations in different countries. MSSR M10S features extremely compact, fully solid-state, highly modular and reliable design with very low life-cycle cost. The system is fully redundant with automatic switch- over and hot swapping functions ensuring high availability. CMS software is OS independent and can be installed on any number of computers. CMS features user friendly interface and provides factory remote support capability.
