    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.
