M10AL is the latest generation ADS-B station designed and manufactured by NRPL under ISO 9001:2008 certified quality system.
The system complies with all ICAO requirements and it has been designed using the latest, best-known technological improvements. The system is highly modular and can be either fully redundant with automatic switch-over or single- channel for N-1 architecture.
M10AL can be used either separately or as a complement to existing PSR/MSSR radars while using only one data processing center. Several stations can be easily extended to MLAT network (airport or WAM).

Antenna System
- Variable number of input antenna channels (1 – 4)
- M10AL can be used with several antenna types depending on required coverage:
- Three 120° degree 17 dBi gain sector antennas
- One omni-directional 11.5 dBi antenna
- One omni-directional 9 dBi antenna
- One omni-directional 5 dBi antenna
Data Processing
- Mode A/C, Mode S ES, Mode S ELS/EHS processing and 3D position calculation
- Tracking and data combining with PSR/MSSR
- Existing PSR Morava 10 / MSSR M10S radar data processor is upgradable to MLAT processing capability
Control and Monitoring System
- Fully redundant system
- Any number of local and remote CMS terminals
- Highly adaptable to local communication lines such as serial, optic, LAN, radio link etc.
- Non-radar equipment control can be easily imple- mented in CMS displaying all available data
- Real-time performance calculation
- Information archiving, replay and analysis
- SNMP support
- Factory remote support capability
Radar Data Display
- Multiple data (plots and/or tracks) input display including PSR, MSSR, ADS-B and MLAT
- Geographical maps and air navigation charts
- Surveillance data archiving and replay
MLAT System Features
- Consists of several M10AL stations and one or several interrogators
- M10AL can be either redundant or single-channel providing extra degree of reliability
- Using Mode A/C, Mode S ES, Mode S ELS/EHS for interrogation
- Can be used either separately or as a complement to existing PSR/MSSR radars while using only one data processing system
- Enhanced coverage calculation
- Redundant central data processing system
