Orolia的遇險跟蹤型應急定位發(fā)射機（ELT-DT）獲得Cospas Sarsat和EASA認證
該批準為奧利雅（Orolia）的ELT-DT在滿足全球航空業(yè)的先進安全要求方面發(fā)揮重要作用鋪平了道路。
Orolia是第一家獲得Cospas Sarsat和歐盟安全局認證的新一代遇險追蹤緊急定位發(fā)射機Ultima-DT的公司。
該批準驗證了奧立雅在全球信標技術方面的持續(xù)進步，包括獲得一份單一來源的多年計劃合同，為所有空客飛機項目提供ELT DT。
Cospas Sarsat是一個國際人道主義搜索和救援系統(tǒng)，它使用天基技術來探測和定位船只、飛機或個人攜帶的406型應急信標，這些信標往往無法通過GNSS信號進入偏遠地區(qū)。該系統(tǒng)由衛(wèi)星網絡、地面站、任務控制中心（MCC）和救援協(xié)調中心（RCC）組成，當406信標被激活時，它們協(xié)同工作。
Orolia公司獲得空客公司遇險跟蹤型應急定位發(fā)射機（ELT-DT）長期供應合同。
Orolia公司ELT產品的最新型號為Ultima-DT。該產品采用成熟的Kannad技術，根據(jù)最新航空安全指令開發(fā)，可顯著增強飛機的全球跟蹤能力。根據(jù)國際民航組織全球航空遇險/安全系統(tǒng)（GADSS）建議和歐盟標準要求，從2023年1月起交付的所有新飛機均應能夠自動報告其位置信息，并確定飛行終點，以實現(xiàn)在遭遇險情時，救援隊能夠迅速定位飛機并恢復機上飛行記錄數(shù)據(jù)。
與傳統(tǒng)自動固定式ELT不同，Ultima-DT與航空電子系統(tǒng)高度集成，當檢測到潛在的遇險情況時能自動啟動，并在飛機飛行過程中時自動傳輸狀態(tài)信息。新型ELT系統(tǒng)可自動獲取飛機位置信息，并實時向全球衛(wèi)星搜救系統(tǒng)（Cospas-Sarsat）組織實時發(fā)送406 MHz消息（包括準確的位置信息）。
Ultima-DT系統(tǒng)將安裝到所有空客商用客機平臺（如空客A220、A320、A330和A350飛機等）上。首批Ultima-DT系統(tǒng)已于2022年交付空客公司實施總裝，以確保2023年1月起交付的空客飛機滿足自主遇險追蹤要求。
Orolia公司還能夠提供自動便攜式ELT，以滿足最新歐洲航空安全局/美國聯(lián)邦航空管理局（EASA / FAA）對于非充電鋰電池供電電子設備的安全應用要求。
Orolia’s ELT-DT receives Cospas-Sarsat and EASA certification
OCTOBER 14, 2022
Orolia, the world leader in resilient positioning, navigation and timing, is the first company to receive certification from Cospas-Sarsat and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency for its new generation distress tracking emergency locator transmitter, the ELT-DT. The approval verifies Orolia’s continuous advancements in global beacon technology, including securing a single source, multi-year program contract to supply ELT-DTs for all Airbus aircraft programs.

Cospas-Sarsat is an international, humanitarian search and rescue system that uses space-based technology to detect and locate 406 emergency beacons carried by ships, aircraft, or individuals venturing into remote areas, often inaccessible by GNSS signals. The system consists of a network of satellites, ground stations, mission control centers (MCCs), and rescue coordination centers (RCCs) that work together when a 406 beacon is activated.
“Being the first company to certify a distress tracking ELT shows again Orolia’s unique ability to provide the industry with the most innovative safety solutions,” said Jérôme Ramé, Orolia’s Aviation & Military Product Line director. “With Ultima-DT, we address the EASA-mandated requirement for the location of aircraft in distress but also the market need for an ELT meeting the most recent safety standards.”
Orolia developed the Ultima-DT in response to recent aviation safety mandates to improve global aircraft tracking. As per the ICAO Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety Systems (GADSS) recommendation and European Union mandate, all new aircraft delivered from January 2024 shall be able to autonomously report their location anywhere in the world and determine the end of flight location to help rescue teams rapidly locate the aircraft and recover flight recorders.
Unlike traditional automatic fixed ELTs and stand-alone units, the Ultima-DT is tightly connected to the avionics system. It activates upon detecting a potential distress condition and starts transmitting automatically while the aircraft is still in flight. This next-generation ELT autonomously acquires the aircraft’s location and sends a 406 MHz message in real-time, including the accurate location, to the Cospas-Sarsat distress alert organization.
The Ultima-DT is also the world’s first ELT to fully comply with the latest EASA/FAA safety requirements for non-rechargeable lithium battery-powered equipment through (E)TSO-C142b. As part of its efforts to support airlines in their regulatory compliance projects, Orolia is also offering its portable Ultima-S ELT, which aims to meet these special conditions.
The approval paves the way for Orolia’s ELT-DT to play essential roles in meeting the aviation industry’s advanced safety mandates worldwide。

The Ultima-DT is the latest solution from Orolia’s ELT line, based on its proven Kannad technology. It was developed in response to recent aviation safety mandates to enhance global aircraft tracking, following the MH370 and AF447 accidents. As per the ICAO Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety Systems (GADSS) recommendation and European Union mandate, all new aircraft delivered from January 2023 shall be able to autonomously report their location anywhere in the world and determine the end of flight location to help rescue teams rapidly locate the aircraft and recover flight recorders.
