Canadian company, Star Navigation Systems Group Ltd. (Star), has confirmed the first order for Star V-trk units, Star’s newest tracking and monitoring equipment for airborne applications.
The Star V-trk is the latest part of Star’s patented family of systems, able to track and monitor aircraft, in real-time, worldwide.
The Star V-trk is the smallest piece of equipment in Star’s portfolio, able to perform tracking and positioning through satcom, as well as provide on-board data collection, processing and downloading.
It is ideally suited for small aircraft and helicopters, but is also intended for applications to land vehicles.
Tianjin Zhonglian Tiantong Space Technology Co. Ltd., (ZLT), Star’s distributor in China for Star V-trk, will deploy these first two units before the end of October 2017. ZLT will also use Star ground segment technology for tracking and data display.
“We are excited by this first concrete step in our approach to the Chinese market, and are very encouraged by the excellent and quick response by our distributor,” said Viraf S. Kapadia, CEO of Star. “We are looking forward to being able to demonstrate the features and benefits of the Star V-trk in a live environment.
“We are also planning further applications and variations of the Star V-trk product to address specific needs identified by our research. We anticipate a long and mutually beneficial relationship with ZLT in China.”
