CIS representatives to discuss radar identification system
10:11|09/ 08/ 2005
The CIS military cooperation coordination officials said they will gather
Tuesday to discuss a single system for radar identification of air-, sea-
and land-based facilities.
"The conference will be convened due to the need to discuss the use of the
single radar identification system to prevent accidental strikes at our
air-, sea- and land-based facilities with our own weapons," the officials
said.
Radar identification provides air safety for the planes of states party to
the agreement on radar identification, flying over the CIS territory, and
prevents any violation of CIS air space and the accidental hitting of CIS
planes with CIS weapons.
"The problem is also important in view of aviation terrorism today," the
officials said.
The conference agenda will also feature issues that require a single
approach in terms of interstate agreement implementation. The conference
will bring together officials from ministries, departments, organizations
and defense ministries of the countries party to the agreement, i.e.,
Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan,
Uzbekistan, and Ukraine.
The agreement on radar identification of air-, sea- and land-based
facilities equipped with aircraft identification transponders of the Parol
system was signed in June of 1992. The agreement establishes the system as
the only radar identification system for multi-based facilities.
The conference will last four days.
