FUCHS Euro­po­les offers a spe­cial tri­pod mast con­s­truc­tion to accom­mo­da­te the gli­de path anten­nas, which ensu­res the exact ali­gnment of the gli­de path anten­nas. Thanks to the use of glass-fib­re rein­forced pla­s­tic, the gli­de path trans­mit­ter mast does not inter­fe­re with the signals and meets the requi­re­ments of the Inter­na­tio­nal Civil Avia­ti­on Orga­niza­ti­on.

Our gli­de path trans­mis­si­on towers impress with low deflec­tion even at high wind speeds and can be erec­ted in a very short time.

FUCHS Euro­po­les sys­tems are sui­ta­ble for moun­ting all types of loca­li­zer anten­nas. Our pro­duct ran­ge includes an optio­nal GRP sub­s­truc­tu­re with gang­way.

Stur­dy and adap­ta­ble

Thanks to their rigid design, our GRP loca­li­zer sys­tems can with­stand any wea­ther con­di­ti­ons and jet blasts of up to 270 km/h. The mate­ri­als used also pre­vent reflec­tion and inter­fe­rence with radar and radio signals.

The Loca­li­cer dipo­le anten­na sys­tems are available as 13-ele­ment, 14-ele­ment and 21-ele­ment ver­si­ons. We build the LPD anten­na arrays as 14-ele­ment, 20-ele­ment and 32-ele­ment ver­si­ons.

With the Loca­li­zer dipo­le anten­na sys­tems and LPD anten­na sys­tems, we rai­se all anten­nas in the group to a uni­form height level using GRP masts. From a cer­tain height, we also rai­se the ADU box of the dipo­le anten­nas or the DUCU box of the LPD anten­nas.

The sys­tems often need to be easi­ly acces­si­ble via a stairway/ladder and offer suf­fi­ci­ent space for main­ten­an­ce staff and their equip­ment. For the­se cases, we make the outer masts clim­ba­ble or install a gang­way for even bet­ter access. This is also made of GRP. The design of the masts and their plat­forms com­pli­es with ICAO Doc 9157 AN/901; Aero­dro­me Design Manu­al; Part 6; Fran­gi­bi­li­ty.

Ano­ther com­po­nent of an ILS sys­tem are auto­ma­tic moni­to­ring sta­ti­ons – so-cal­led moni­tor sys­tems. FUCHS Euro­po­les sup­pli­esfar-field­an­d­ne­ar-field moni­tor mastsmade of fiber­glass-rein­forced pla­s­tic with fixed or til­ta­ble base pla­tes. They are available in ver­si­ons with eart­hing cables, cable ducts and light­ning pro­tec­tion.

DME masts

Tog­e­ther with gli­de path anten­na masts and near and far field moni­tor masts, they sup­port safe flight ope­ra­ti­ons in all wea­ther con­di­ti­ons. Like all our GRP masts, DME masts are desi­gned to with­stand a wide ran­ge of con­di­ti­ons such as mois­tu­re, wind, tem­pe­ra­tures, sand abra­si­on and che­mi­cals in all cli­ma­te zones.

Unshaka­b­ly fru­gal: This mast design for tac­ti­cal air navi­ga­ti­on impres­ses with low main­ten­an­ce cos­ts even in extre­me cli­ma­tic con­di­ti­ons. This is ensu­red by its mini­mal deflec­tion, maxi­mum cor­ro­si­on resis­tance and easy anten­na access for main­ten­an­ce work. Our TACAN Tower is available for extre­me loca­ti­ons inclu­ding foun­da­ti­ons in a 40″ con­tai­ner.

GRP Shel­ter

Thanks to the outer walls made of glass fiber rein­forced poly­es­ter (GFP), the­se metal-free pro­tec­ti­ve cabi­nets are ide­al for housing elec­tro­nics and switch­gear at air­ports. They can be used in the imme­dia­te vici­ni­ty of the run­way and are manu­fac­tu­red in accordance with the fran­gi­bi­li­ty stan­dards of the Inter­na­tio­nal Civil Avia­ti­on Orga­niza­ti­on (ICAO).

Wind mea­su­ring masts inform air traf­fic con­trol about wind strength and direc­tion. Pilots recei­ve the cur­rent values imme­dia­te­ly befo­re take-off or landing. Wind mea­su­ring masts made of glass fiber rein­forced pla­s­tic (GRP) have a coni­cal shape and thus redu­ce icing on the mast. If requi­red, addi­tio­nal car­bon fiber rein­force­ment can be added to the mast.

Wind direc­tion indi­ca­tor

Relia­ble, cor­ro­si­on-resistant, vir­tual­ly main­ten­an­ce-free: our til­ta­ble wind direc­tion indi­ca­tors made of GRP and stain­less steel demons­tra­te qua­li­ty down to the last detail. The wind­sock hol­der can be rota­ted and the wind­sock is illu­mi­na­ted from below. For gla­re-free light­ing from abo­ve, the mast can be fit­ted with a light­ing cross on request.
