New Delhi: As the search to find the missing Malaysia Airlines aircraft continues, aviation experts say several steps like tamper-proof location systems and satellite-based tracking systems should be used to avoid such incidents in future.
“There are a number of on-board and ground-based navigation and tracking systems that are used to locate aircraft. In this case it seems that the systems have failed to pick up onboard signals,” a senior official with the communications, navigation, and surveillance (CNS) arm of the state-run Airports Authority of India told IANS here.
“This might happen if the aircraft has sunk to a great depth or someone with deep technical know-how has switched off these systems.”
“Making on-board systems tamper-proof will help not only to detect aircraft in case of an accident but also help as an anti-hijack measure.”
