The LFB radio navigation system was developed in the USA from 1929. This system was initially designated as LFR (Low Frequency Range). But it did not work and was modernized. This is how the LFB (Low Frequency Beacon) and LF-RNG (Low Frequency Radio Range) systems were created.

The main disadvantage of the system is that one set supports only one direction of approach. It designates only one approach path in space, which may make it difficult for large or small aircraft to land. It has high requirements as to the shape of the terrain on the approach, because it can generate disturbances…

Initially, Poland had one FIR area, Warszawa EPWW. But it has had five FIR areas for several years; Gdańsk, Olsztyn, Poznań, Warsaw and Kraków. Nay. Part of the area of ​​Western Pomerania and a fragment of the Baltic Sea we got rid of in favor of the Germans (FIR Heringosdorf), and there were even attempts…

The air traffic control system is to ensure safe flight of aircraft in controlled space, and especially their proper separation. In the case of using airspace also shared by military aviation, this space is closed to civil aviation in advance. There are also spaces (areas) that are dangerous and prohibited for civil aviation. The movement…

The Polish radar ZDPSR Bystra is a Transit Capable Radar Station manufactured by PIT-RADWAR S.A. The radar is mounted on the Żubr-P armored vehicle. The AMZ Żubr vehicle is an armored car of Polish production, the heaviest of the AMZ-Kutno vehicles produced so far. Its mass is 12,000 kg. 4×4 drive. Iveco Tector NEF N60…

The PSR-A Pilica is a Polish short-range automatic anti-aircraft missile and artillery system. In NATO nomenclature it is called VSHORAD, or Very Short Range Air Defense). The system is of the transportable type. The acronym PSR-A stands for the Anti-Aircraft Missile and Artillery System.

NUR-15 (TRS-15 Odra) is a Polish three-coordinate, mobile, medium-range radar, mounted on the chassis of Tatra or Jelcz cars. The radar was developed by the Polish State Telecommunications Institute (PIT), which joined the structures of Bumar Elektronika S.A. The main task of the radar is to fill the gap in a possible armed conflict after…

In 1975, PIT started designing a new generation of two-coordinate coherent radars with pulse compression, codenamed NUR. NUR stands for Ground Based Radar Device. The training of future service technicians began in the mid-80s at the Higher School of Radio Engineering in Jelenia Góra. The radar was used by the Polish Army in 1988. A…

In 1956, the Industrial Telecommunications Institute (PIT) started developing a new series of radar stations codenamed Jawor. These radars were to have much better technical parameters than the Nysa family of radars. They have been referred to as Radar Detection and Guidance Stations (RSWN). The final stage of research and development was a radar built…

In 1950, the General Staff of the Polish Army transferred the T-T conditions for a radar warning station to the National Telecommunications Institute. The work was started by the Separate Design Laboratory (TL) at the Radio Works named after Marcin Kasprzak. The program was codenamed "Nysa". As early as 1951, a laboratory model of a…
