- Description
This category covers antennas and antenna-based systems used in onboard radio communication, navigation, radar, and surveillance equipment of helicopters and aircraft. The products included in this category are applied on Mi-8, Mi-17, Mi-171 helicopters, Kamov helicopters, and other rotary-wing and fixed-wing aircraft of Soviet and Russian design operated worldwide.
Antennas and related systems form the external interface between onboard avionics and the surrounding electromagnetic environment, ensuring reliable transmission and reception of radio signals. Depending on their function and configuration, these systems support voice and data communication, navigation, identification, radar operation, and signal exchange with ground stations, air traffic control, and other aircraft.
On platforms such as the Mi-8 and Mi-17, antennas and systems are designed to operate under high vibration levels, aerodynamic loads, temperature variations, moisture exposure, and electromagnetic interference. Their construction ensures stable electrical characteristics, mechanical integrity, and long-term reliability during intensive operation in transport, offshore, maritime, SAR, firefighting, cargo, and special-mission roles.
The category includes:
Standalone antennas
Antenna systems and assemblies
Antenna transmitting and receiving units
Integrated antenna solutions used within radio, navigation, radar, and identification systems
Depending on the system design, antenna systems may incorporate multiple antennas, matching units, filters, or distribution elements, forming complete assemblies supplied in accordance with approved technical documentation.
All products are manufactured and supplied in compliance with aviation technical standards, approved drawings, and system specifications, ensuring full compatibility with corresponding onboard equipment. Selection is performed strictly by part number, system application, frequency range, polarization, installation method, and aircraft type, in accordance with aircraft maintenance manuals and installation instructions.
These antennas and systems are used during routine maintenance, scheduled overhaul, avionics upgrades, airworthiness restoration, and fleet support programs.
This category is intended for aircraft operators, MRO organizations, repair facilities, and aviation parts suppliers seeking correct, application-specific antenna solutions for helicopters and aircraft operating in demanding environments.
