Mercury Localizer
As a critical component of the Mercury ILS (Instrument Landing System) series, the Mercury Localizer is responsible for transmitting lateral guidance signals to approaching aircraft, ensuring precise runway alignment during automatic landings. This system delivers highly stable and accurate left-right deviation information, enabling aircraft to align safely with the runway centerline even in low visibility or adverse weather conditions.
Designed to meet and exceed ICAO Annex 10, Level 4 standards, the Mercury Localizer combines robust performance, cost-effectiveness, and ease of installation. Leveraging our proprietary TCP/IP-based architecture, it ensures streamlined integration with existing airport systems and enables remote monitoring and diagnostics for enhanced maintainability.
Tested extensively under a wide range of harsh environmental conditions, the Mercury Localizer has proven its reliability and resilience in both civil and military applications. It is currently deployed at numerous international airports across Asia, Europe, Africa, and South America, where it has earned widespread praise from aviation authorities and air navigation service providers for its operational stability, signal clarity, and long-term durability.
Airway Technologies, Inc. remains committed to delivering next-generation air navigation systems that support safer, more efficient skies. With the Mercury Localizer, we continue to set the standard for excellence in precision approach technologies worldwide.
