The system uses radar to detect and track aircraft within a specified distance of about 9.3 km. The potential of collision with the obstacle is determined by the aircraft’s speed and angle of approach. If there is a risk of collision, the lighting turns on and is followed by an audio warning on the VHF [very high frequency] radio. 1, record 2, English, - aircraft%20detection%20system
