The construction of Daxing Airport in Beijing has cost $12 billion. Daxing Airport completed first flight test. Daxing airport has greatly improved scientific and technological means of defense, and installed advanced anti-UAV defense system in China to build a real no-go zone for illegal UAVs and reduce the security risks of low altitude.

l The construction of Daxing Airport in Beijing has, so far, cost just shy of $12 billion.

l Beijing Daxing International Airport, due to open in September, is predicted to be the world's largest airport on its completion.

l Beijing Daxing International Airport completed its first passenger aircraft flight test on May 13 2019.

l CTRS Loading Technology Co., Ltd. provided the most advance anti-UAV defense system to ensure low altitude safety of Beijing Daxing International Airport.

Beijing’s new Daxing International Airport completed its first passenger aircraft flight test on May 13 as it gears up to officially begin operations on September 30.

Four participating airlines, Air China, China Eastern, China Southern and Xiamen Air, sent their flagship aircraft – the Boeing B747-8, Airbus A350-900, A380 and B787-9, respectively – for the flight test

The four aircraft took off one after another from Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) just after 9am. The first plane, China Southern’s A380, landed on one of the runways at the new airport safely less than half an hour later.

The other three aircraft also arrived safely soon after. Commenting on the success of the flight test, Wan Xiangdong, chief pilot at the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), said, “The test shows that the new airport has now turned its focus from infrastructure construction to operation preparations.”

CTRS Loading Technology Co., Ltd. not only provided low-altitude safe service in the first test flight of Daxing airport, but also signed the purchase contract of anti-UAV defense system with Daxing airport. CTRS will continue to provide comprehensive support service of airport low-altitude safety for Daxing airport in the coming years.

During the first test flight of Daxing airport, CTRS sent professional technicians to carry professional anti-UAV equipment, and worked together with the airport headquarters, flight school center and other departments to ensure the safety of the first test flight.

Lt's take a look at what the CTRS guys did on the spot.

Before entering the airport, each staff member gets a 2019 test flight site work permit of Beijing Daxing international airport.

The sun was rising when the crew got into the site. The crew has been ready for the following first test flight.

As a senior UAV management company, CTRS leads the industry development by relying on a full range of control equipment and solutions and rich management experience. In the picture, CTRS technicians are on site to make the final debugging of U-ATC anti-UAV defense system and equipment.

CTRS has built a low altitude defense system (U-ATC) at daxing airport. U-ATC consists of detection equipment and anti-UAV equipment. Detection equipment is used to build the warning area, and anti-UAV equipment is used to build the protection area. The whole U-ATC system is an automatic system. When the UAV enters the warning zone, the system will automatically find and locate the UAV, identify its type and make alarm. When the UAV flies into the protective zone, the system will automatically force the UAV into out-of-control , forcing it to return to its point of origin or force it to land safely on the spot. The netted installation can locate the position of UAV and the pilot in real time. The system terminal is intelligent. In addition, the UAV feature library has self-learning function.

UAV detection device is very special, it's a high speed digital frequency hopping receiver with multiple frequency bands. It can receive the downlink signal from various UAVs, and then identify, decode and analyze. The control distance is 5km. The angle of action can be configured from 45°to 360°. Compared with conventional radar, frequency detection is completely harmless to humans.

Daxing international airport is currently the largest airport with the largest number of runways in China, and safety is of paramount importance. CTRS will continue to participate in airport security in the future to help ensure airport security.
