Cyrrus awarded another European Patent – Mode-S Code Conflict Detection System

We are proud to announce that Cyrrus has been awarded another European Patent for technology designed to solve an ongoing Aviation problem. Cyrrus has developed a stand-alone radar performance monitor which continuously examines radar performance and alerts the operator to coverage issues and Mode-S code conflicts.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 262/2009 lays down the requirements for the coordinated allocation and use of Mode S interrogator codes for the single European sky. Article 7 of The Regulation requires Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSP) to implement a means of monitoring and detection of interrogator code conflicts. Cyrrus patented technology provides a methodology for the implementation of a monitoring system for Mode S code conflict detection and monitoring to allow ANSPs to comply with Article 7 without modification to the radar or radar data processing systems.
