Implementation of Russian sattelite communication system "Gonets" in aircraft monitoring

One of the main problems of air transportation is the problem of continuous aircraft monitoring, which allows to control every specified flight plan, record deviations from the route, and, in case of a crash or an accident, immediately perform the aircraft search, location and rescue. This problem can be effectively solved by means of satellite navigation systems, satellite communication systems and automatic vehicle monitoring systems. The onboard aircraft satellite telemetric terminal “ Gonets D1-M ” is a good option for solving the problem, as it was specially designed for installation in vehicles to record their location, speed and direction. Additionally, it can register a number of other parameters, such as analog / digital input data and sensor readings; that allows to transfer to the control center not only the data on aircraft attitude and speed, but also on the status of its operation. At present, the policy of import substitution is widely implemented on the territory of the Russian Federation, and it has an influence on all spheres of economic activity. This paper gives a presentation of the home-produced satellite navigation system “ Gonets ”, which has a number of advantages in comparison with foreign analogues. The proposed system is being used in the field of sea transportation and has already established itself as practical; so there is a prospect of introducing such a system to the aviation sphere.
