Ineco helps ensure that the development of the new facilities is carried out without compromising the safety of air operations, in an environment that is particularly sensitive from an operational perspective.
Ineco has carried out a study to assess the radio‑electrical impact of the new facilities that the Infante de Orleans Foundation (FIO) plans to build at Getafe Air Base, with the aim of ensuring that they do not interfere with systems that are critical to air safety.
The project involves relocating the FIO’s headquarters to the base, where a new hangar will be built to house its collection of historic aircraft, along with additional facilities and archives. An outdoor apron for aircraft display is also planned, with direct access to the aerodrome runway. Given the proximity of these infrastructures to military Communications, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) systems, an analysis of potential interference is required. These systems are essential for air traffic control, and any disruption to their operation must be ruled out.
The study examines the radio‑electrical protection zones safeguarding these systems, as well as the potential for multipath interference caused by the presence of new structures, and any possible reduction in coverage of the affected equipment.
Through this work, Ineco is helping to ensure that the development of the new facilities can go ahead without compromising the safety of air operations, in an environment that is particularly sensitive from an operational standpoint. The company has extensive experience in radio‑electrical compatibility studies across a wide range of environments, where technical accuracy is crucial. Its expertise in CNS systems and interference analysis enables risks to be anticipated and solutions to be proposed that ensure the coexistence of new infrastructure with critical air navigation systems.
