Philippines’ air traffic radars are now up at 13 from 3, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) said. With 13 radars the Philippines can now monitor 85% of its entire airspace to provide safer and more efficient flights.
“Definite air travel, established aircraft identification, and guaranteed air passenger safety and security are now within reach through the new Communications Navigation Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM),” DOTr said.
“On September 2017, an additional satellite-based CNS/ATM will be turned over to DOTr-CAAP to enable 100% coverage of the PH airspace,” DOTr added.
CNS/ATM system is a state-of-the-art computer and satellite based air traffic management technology is the same technology that is being used by Australia, Taiwan, and other European states.
“The CNS/ATM project was started in 2009, but due to delay in construction and other challenges, it did not hit its target completion in 2016. Upon Secretary Art Tugade’s assumption into office, he ordered the CAAP to fast-track the project,” DOTr said.
“The CNS/ATM system is now in parallel operations with the existing technology and will be fully operational by December 2017,” it added.

That's a funny layout anyone knows why they squeeze the 3 on top so close to eachother? I'm sure u can get 90% if u spread the top 3 a little. Anyone knows the reason?
BalasHapusThe terrain in those areas are mountaineous. Sierra Madre mountains (longest range in Phils.) runs from North Luzon down to Quezon which is part of South Luzon, plus the Mountain province running from Baguio all the way to Tarlac. Radar reception can easily be disrupted with the presence of high altitude natural barriers such as mountains.
HapusThanks. Now it makes sense. Singapore has no mountains lol. There is also recent news that Phillippines have received an aerostat system from the US. It is also a radar is it included as part of the picture above?
HapusIf not then which part of the country will the system be deployed? Although note that this system can be deployed 24/7 however it cannot do so in phillippines as it is typhoon prone as well as heavy tropical storms. The Aerostat can not handle such situations. Although efforts have been made to strengthen the kelevar cable attached to it but u know nature is unpredictable. Max defence blog has indicated that the PAF will use it as a deployable means meaning it will be moving around and not station permanently. So perhaps short to medium term deployment at certain areas i guess?
HapusSome have argued that the system is useless because of phillippine georgraphic area. Basically the weather however rmb this system was given courtesy of the US. So no harm
HapusThe tethered aerostat will be deployed in western part where air and maritime traffics are dominant

HapusThanks. That seem a good spot away from the vast ocean on the east side where typhoons usually come from.
HapusThet are idiot!!!! Thats why,
BalasHapusJust see the layout make me laugh... no wonder pignoy/poornoy are useless country, like lem1 mother and jhun daughter/sister. Hahahahahahahaaahahahaaaaahahahahaaahahah😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good pinoy
BalasHapusFuck man... I'm tired argue with those 2 bastards in this blog!!!!!!
BalasHapusim out of here..... bye lem1baboy_jhuncibai🖕🖕
U can argue but with reason.
HapusEnd this hatred and move on darkside and the same as them
HapusDark Side, its because you are coming from a retarded family just like your parents with no dicipline. Your head are full of cartons that is why you don't even know what you are doing.
Hapusbegh spot radar militer kite banyakan dong 20📡, target 32📡.
BalasHapusblom di itung radar sipil di puluhan propinsi dari sabang-merauke📡
