Orolia的遇险跟踪型应急定位发射机（ELT-DT）获得Cospas Sarsat和EASA认证
该批准为奥利雅（Orolia）的ELT-DT在满足全球航空业的先进安全要求方面发挥重要作用铺平了道路。
Orolia是第一家获得Cospas Sarsat和欧盟安全局认证的新一代遇险追踪紧急定位发射机Ultima-DT的公司。
该批准验证了奥立雅在全球信标技术方面的持续进步，包括获得一份单一来源的多年计划合同，为所有空客飞机项目提供ELT DT。
Cospas Sarsat是一个国际人道主义搜索和救援系统，它使用天基技术来探测和定位船只、飞机或个人携带的406型应急信标，这些信标往往无法通过GNSS信号进入偏远地区。该系统由卫星网络、地面站、任务控制中心（MCC）和救援协调中心（RCC）组成，当406信标被激活时，它们协同工作。
Orolia公司获得空客公司遇险跟踪型应急定位发射机（ELT-DT）长期供应合同。
Orolia公司ELT产品的最新型号为Ultima-DT。该产品采用成熟的Kannad技术，根据最新航空安全指令开发，可显著增强飞机的全球跟踪能力。根据国际民航组织全球航空遇险/安全系统（GADSS）建议和欧盟标准要求，从2023年1月起交付的所有新飞机均应能够自动报告其位置信息，并确定飞行终点，以实现在遭遇险情时，救援队能够迅速定位飞机并恢复机上飞行记录数据。
与传统自动固定式ELT不同，Ultima-DT与航空电子系统高度集成，当检测到潜在的遇险情况时能自动启动，并在飞机飞行过程中时自动传输状态信息。新型ELT系统可自动获取飞机位置信息，并实时向全球卫星搜救系统（Cospas-Sarsat）组织实时发送406 MHz消息（包括准确的位置信息）。
Ultima-DT系统将安装到所有空客商用客机平台（如空客A220、A320、A330和A350飞机等）上。首批Ultima-DT系统已于2022年交付空客公司实施总装，以确保2023年1月起交付的空客飞机满足自主遇险追踪要求。
Orolia公司还能够提供自动便携式ELT，以满足最新欧洲航空安全局/美国联邦航空管理局（EASA / FAA）对于非充电锂电池供电电子设备的安全应用要求。
Orolia’s ELT-DT receives Cospas-Sarsat and EASA certification
OCTOBER 14, 2022
Orolia, the world leader in resilient positioning, navigation and timing, is the first company to receive certification from Cospas-Sarsat and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency for its new generation distress tracking emergency locator transmitter, the ELT-DT. The approval verifies Orolia’s continuous advancements in global beacon technology, including securing a single source, multi-year program contract to supply ELT-DTs for all Airbus aircraft programs.

Cospas-Sarsat is an international, humanitarian search and rescue system that uses space-based technology to detect and locate 406 emergency beacons carried by ships, aircraft, or individuals venturing into remote areas, often inaccessible by GNSS signals. The system consists of a network of satellites, ground stations, mission control centers (MCCs), and rescue coordination centers (RCCs) that work together when a 406 beacon is activated.
“Being the first company to certify a distress tracking ELT shows again Orolia’s unique ability to provide the industry with the most innovative safety solutions,” said Jérôme Ramé, Orolia’s Aviation & Military Product Line director. “With Ultima-DT, we address the EASA-mandated requirement for the location of aircraft in distress but also the market need for an ELT meeting the most recent safety standards.”
Orolia developed the Ultima-DT in response to recent aviation safety mandates to improve global aircraft tracking. As per the ICAO Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety Systems (GADSS) recommendation and European Union mandate, all new aircraft delivered from January 2024 shall be able to autonomously report their location anywhere in the world and determine the end of flight location to help rescue teams rapidly locate the aircraft and recover flight recorders.
Unlike traditional automatic fixed ELTs and stand-alone units, the Ultima-DT is tightly connected to the avionics system. It activates upon detecting a potential distress condition and starts transmitting automatically while the aircraft is still in flight. This next-generation ELT autonomously acquires the aircraft’s location and sends a 406 MHz message in real-time, including the accurate location, to the Cospas-Sarsat distress alert organization.
The Ultima-DT is also the world’s first ELT to fully comply with the latest EASA/FAA safety requirements for non-rechargeable lithium battery-powered equipment through (E)TSO-C142b. As part of its efforts to support airlines in their regulatory compliance projects, Orolia is also offering its portable Ultima-S ELT, which aims to meet these special conditions.
The approval paves the way for Orolia’s ELT-DT to play essential roles in meeting the aviation industry’s advanced safety mandates worldwide。

The Ultima-DT is the latest solution from Orolia’s ELT line, based on its proven Kannad technology. It was developed in response to recent aviation safety mandates to enhance global aircraft tracking, following the MH370 and AF447 accidents.
