As part of the 2018 – 2019 project, the Japanese side will offer training
courses to transfer technology and hold seminars on MLAT technology in Hanoi and
Phu Quoc with staff from VATM, the Civil Authority of Vietnam and the Airports
Corporation of Vietnam taking part.
Airports with high flight density in Europe, US, Japan, the Republic of Korea
and Singapore have adopted MLAT technology.
MLAT technology is developed to accurately locate aircraft in ground stations,
local terminal areas or a wider area that covers the larger surrounding airspace
in any weather condition. It allows automation in processing information about
flight activities and enhances the capacity of flight control at air traffic
control stations.
Founded in 1915, Japan Radio Co. Ltd majors in wireless electronics for
communications industry and provides solution-based services for infrastructure
projects. In Asia, it has three branches in the Philippines, Taiwan (China) and
Hanoi, Vietnam.
Japan Radio Co. Ltd’s MLAT technology was piloted in Japan’s Senda airport and
lauded by the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau. It is expected to replace other MLAT
systems in nine Japanese airports.
