The Interscan ILS900 Instrument Landing System is a ground based precision approach aid to assist aircraft approach to runways. The system enables the aircraft to be maneouvered along a precise, predetermined, final approach path. The ILS is configured for either Category-I or -II as per requirements of ICAO Annex 10.

The ILS system comprises a Glide Slope (GS) system and a Localiser (LOC) system for vertical and horizontal course information on approach, and transmits coded signals to determine the amount of deviation from the optimum approach path.

Benefits of the ILS900 includes:

High reliability
  • Hardware based design, with microprocessor monitoring
  • Contains no moving parts
  • Fully solid state, including power amplifier
  • Meets or exceeds all ICAO requirements
  • Can withstand major power supply fluctuations and spikes
  • Requires no cooling fans
Low maintenance costs
  • Remote Maintenance Monitoring (RMM) available
  • Synthesiser controlled signal generation
  • Computer assisted alignment
  • Low power consumption
 Meets A Range of Requirements
  • 1-Frequency or 2-Frequency operation
  • Available for CAT-I or CAT-II
  • Different antenna configurations available
  • Includes AC power supply/battery charger, allowing use
    of float battery for “no break” power source
  • DME or marker beacon for distance information
