01 // the challenge
No visual guidance in unprepared landing zones creates operational risk
In the real world, such operationsare often unavoidable
Private operators,HEMS and corporate aviation regularly face situations where:
- Night landings are required at temporary or unprepared sites
- Locations are remote and lack lighting infrastructure
- Backup lighting is needed for existing landing areas
- Permanent heliport construction is impractical or not economically justified
The lack of visualreference results in:
- Increased pilot workload
- Reduced safety margins
- Limited operational capability
SPAR-TAC enables safe night operations without the need for permanent infrastructure

Read more
Configurable lighting groups, brightness levels, and operating modes, with wireless firmware updates (Wi-Fi) to adapt the system to specific operational requirements
CONTROL & CONFIGURATION
Intuitive lighting group configuration
supported by a user-friendly application interface
and a simple handheld control unit
Read more
Supports operational grouping for:-TLOF (green)-FATO (amber)-Obstruction lighting (red)-Beacon (any color)-Sequence lighting(any color)-Taxiway (blue)-NVG-compatible (infrared)
FULL SYSTEMCAPABILITY
Complete heliport lighting configuration in a portable formatEnables rapid deployment of a complete ICAO-aligned heliport lighting system
Read more
Configurable for TLOF, FATO, obstruction, taxiway, beacon, and sequence lighting requirements.Optional integration of a high-intensity heliport beacon on a telescopic mast with an integrated windsock supports visual identification and extended operational capability
RANGE
Wireless control range up to 5 km, extendable to 20 km using a high-intensity mobile beacon with wind indicator on a portable telescopic mast, functioning as both heliport identifier and signal relay between the control and light units
Application(optional) ↔ Control Unit ↔ Beacon(optional) ↔ Light Units
The system operates as a distributed wireless network with an optional iOS application layer for advanced configuration and control:-Control unit (MCU4-LORA) sends commands and receives system status in the field-The iOS application provides centralized configuration, monitoring, and firmware management-Light units (UML5-IRVIS) execute commands and exchange data with each other-The high-intensity beacon with windsock (HBE22-MWS-G/IR) can be integrated as an optional relay, heliport identifier, and wind indicator.
System control and configuration(IOS application)
A dedicated iOS application enables:-Individual configuration of each light unit-Adjustment of color, intensity, and operating modes (steady, flashing, sequence lighting)-Assignment of lighting groups (TLOF, FATO, obstruction, taxiway, beacon, sequence)-GPS-based positioning of each light unit with map-based layout planning and on-site deployment-Wireless firmware updates-Real-time system monitoringThe iOS application is provided as a free, optional tool.
Advanced operating modes
-Map-based configuration(optional): lighting groups can be planned in the application and then deployed on site, following the defined layout and GPS positions.-Radio-silent mode (optional): light units and the beacon may not transmit status data unless explicitly requested by the control unit
Standalone operation
-The system can operate independently without the Remote Control Unit (MCU4-LORA) and application connection.-Light units can be configured via the Remote Control Unit and then operated manually using a physical button on each unit.
Optional high-intensity beacon with wind indicator for extended range
Control unit → Beacon→ Light units (inter-communication)The high-intensity beacon mounted on a 4.5 m portable telescopic mast with an integrated windsock serves as a visual heliport identifier, extending system control range up to 20 km and increasing visual detection range up to 15 km, when deployed as optional additional equipment with a wind indicator. The beacon receives the command from the control unit, activates itself, and distributes the signal to all light units, extending system coverage.At the same time, the beacon, the control, and the light units maintain inter-device communication, forming a synchronized wireless network.The windsock (600 mm diameter, 2.4 m length) is designed in accordance with ICAO Annex 14 - Aerodromes - Volume II - Heliports recommendations.-Up to 20 km control range when using the beacon as a relay
Secure communication andclosed-loop control
Bi-directional encrypted communicationensures reliable system operation.Light units and the beacon:-transmit real-time status data to the control unit-exchange data with each other via a secure wireless protocol-Send command execution confirmations back to the control unit, with an optional passive communication mode enabling status transmission only upon request
The control unit continuously verifies system status and confirms that all commands are executed without errors.This enables:-Real-time status monitoring-Reliable command execution-Inter-device synchronization-Closed-loop control and system integritySignal flow and system interaction
Control unit → Light units (direct communication)The control and the light units maintain inter-device communication,forming a synchronized wireless network.-Up to 5 km control range in direct line-of-sight operation (without beacon)
Fail-safe operation and system resilience
The system maintains operational capability in case of communication loss.
Light units continue operating in the last assigned mode
Manual control via the onboard interface ensures continued operation
Distributed architecture prevents a single point of failure
System integrity is preserved under degraded conditions
