Star Navigation Presents at "Expert Dialogue on Real-time
Monitoring of Flight Data, including the Black Box" Conference in
Malaysia
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jun 2, 2014) - Star Navigation
Systems Group Ltd. (TSX-VENTURE:SNA)(OTCBB:SNAVF) ("Star" or the
"Company") announces that it recently accepted an invitation from
the Malaysian Minister of Communications and Multimedia, and the
International Telecommunication Union ("ITU"), to attend the Expert
Dialogue on Real-time Monitoring of Flight Data Conference in Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia, May 26 and 27.
The conference was convened following the recent International
Civil Aviation Organization ("ICAO") meetings in Montreal, which
the Company also attended. Organized in response to the complex
investigation into the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight
MH370, the ICAO meetings addressed the matter of how modern
technologies could help put in place a more efficient system for
worldwide tracking and monitoring of aircraft.
Under ICAO guidance, and hosted by the Malaysian Minister of
Communications and Multimedia, over 50 industry experts from all
over the world including official representatives of many
countries, regulatory bodies, airlines (IATA) and the industry in
general, including Airbus and Boeing, were invited. In addition,
innovative new companies such as Star Navigation, met in Kuala
Lumpur to review and comment on available technologies and their
implementation, so that aircraft can actually and efficiently be
tracked, increasing the safety of all passengers.
The Star STAR-A.D.S.™ system already provides accurate,
continuous tracking information, relayed through satellite, through
minute by minute "heart beats", giving position, altitude, speed
and heading of an aircraft to the airline's operations center, in
addition to real time Black Box flight data streaming.
Mr. Amir Bhatti, P. Eng., Star's Chief of Technology and a
former Certified Aircraft Accident Investigator and Flight Safety
Specialist, delivered a presentation entitled "Real Time Flight
Data Monitoring, Tracking and Communication". He expanded on Star's
views and the benefits of real time streaming of Flight data. The
presentation was well received by the selected audience of experts,
and was followed by several specific discussions with attending
airlines and various representatives of attending institutions, as
well as the Minister, Ahmad Shabery Cheek, who said:
"Malaysia is pleased to be able to host this meeting as the
outcome may potentially bring a positive change to the aviation
industry."
Mr. Viraf Kapadia, CEO of Star, said:
"We are understandably pleased with the response to the
presentation made at the conference by our Chief of Technology. Our
flagship product, the STAR-A.D.S.™ system, precisely addresses the
concerns of those hosting the Conference and it addresses them
today, not in 2020. Aside from the Safety and Search and Rescue
("SAR") considerations, our system offers fuel management and other
operational enhancement benefits that can make the installation of
the System a revenue positive one."
Star looks forward to attending the Aircraft Tracking Task
Force, (planned at the Kuala Lumpur conference), which will meet in
Montreal on the 11th and 12th days of this month, and trust that
results will be generated in an expeditious manner.
