HELIDECK LEADING LIGHT
|
|
|
|
|
|
AGI were called upon by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to develop a new Helideck Lighting 'proof of concept' System to improve the safety of flights to offshore oil & gas platforms. Working with our partners on this project (Orga B.V), an improved system has been developed to improve pilot visual cueing in what is a very demanding environment. Utilising advanced high intensity; coloured LED technology the latest suite of Helideck Lighting is able to 'stand out' from the mass of ambient lights that are usually present on oil & gas platforms. Pilots involved in the initial assessments conducted by the CAA endorsed the system, declaring it to provide a significant improvement to flight safety.
Full production of the improved Helideck Lighting System commences very soon. |

Sales of AGI’s Gun Barrel Bore Gauge and AGICAM 2 Systems continue, with a recent contract from the Czech Army being awarded to the Naval Aviation Business Unit.
The University of Defence in the Czech Republic will be using the system for trials & evaluation, prior to recommending deployment throughout the Czech Army.
In association with the University, AGI will be working to ensure that all requirements are met and achieved in a timely manner. A specialised training course is to be conducted upon delivery of the equipment, later this year. |

SUPPORTING THE UK's TWO NEW SUPER CARRIERS
|
|
|
|
|
|
AGI's Naval Aviation Business Unit delivers Visual Landing Aids to the Aircraft Carrier Alliance (A.C.A), just one month after the official start of construction of the Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carrier flight deck. AGI achieved this major milestone by delivering a significant number of Visual Landing Aids ready to be installed upon the completion of the flight deck.
This is the inaugural delivery of equipment by AGI, who will be supporting the ACA throughout the whole build program. The two new Super Carriers named Queen Elizabeth & Prince of Wales are set for delivery to the Royal Navy in 2015 & 2018 respectively.

AGI LAUNCH NEW MARITIME NAVIGATION SYSTEM
|
|
|
|
|
|
| AGI have launched a new combined Ship’s Speed Log & Meteorological System for the maritime industry. Nav-IS (Navigation Information System) incorporates a suite of sensors providing measurement of ship’s speed through the water, distance travelled, wind speed & direction, air temperature, humidity, air pressure and sea temperature. Utilising the latest proven and in service solid state sensor technology, this innovative, accurate and cost-effective system has been developed for a wide range of applications from ocean-going merchant and passenger vessels to offshore patrol craft and naval support vessels. The system exceeds the requirements of EN60945 & EN61023 and is compliant with IMO resolutions A.478 and A.824. |

WIND SENSOR UPGRADE TO AGI SURFACE WIND SYSTEMS AT LONDON AIRPORTS
|
|
|
|
|
|
| AGI’s Met Business Unit has won an order to replace mechanical wind sensors with ultrasonic wind sensors at Gatwick, Stansted and Heathrow airports. The order from National Air Traffic Services (NATS) was an upgrade to the existing AGI supplied surface wind systems. The ultrasonic wind sensors will enable each of the airports to reduce their annual maintenance and support costs. The order follows a year long trial of the ultrasonic sensor at Heathrow airport, which proved that its output matched and exceeded the mechanical wind sensors performance. |

FINNISH AIR FORCE MILESTONE
|
|
|
|
|
|
| AGI’s Metalite Business Unit have successfully reached the halfway stage of a 3 million pound contract to supply the Finnish Air Force with 6 MOSKIT Systems (Minimum Operating Strip Lighting Kit). Each system comprises 3 Trailers of airfield lighting equipment, which enable the Finnish AF to construct a fully functioning airstrip on unconventional or unimproved surfaces such as roads (see picture). They are ideal for deployment in situations where no mains power or infrastructure is available as they are fully portable self contained units complete with onboard generators. |
