Business Wire
ACSS, an L3 and Thales Company, announced today that its T3CAS®
Integrated Surveillance System has been selected by Airbus
Helicopters as standard equipment for its new H160 medium-lift,
multi-role commercial transport helicopter. ACSS’s T3CAS provides
situational awareness and collision avoidance protection to more
than 15,000 aircraft worldwide. This marks the first time T3CAS has
been selected for a rotorcraft platform, and deliveries are
expected to begin in 2018. ACSS products are on exhibit at the 2017
International Paris Air Show.
“We are very excited to bring our T3CAS capability to the
rotorcraft market, especially in support of this important new
helicopter program,” said Terry Flaishans, President of ACSS. “We
worked very closely with Airbus Helicopters to identify the best
NextGen surveillance solution to meet H160 program requirements and
the upcoming ADS-B mandate. Together, we are committed to ensuring
that the H160 has the highest levels of situational awareness,
safety and flight efficiency possible.”
The T3CAS is a Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) that can host any
combination of Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS),
Terrain Awareness Warning System (TAWS) and Mode S Transponder with
ADS-B In/Out capability. The system combines multiple products into
a single 4-Modular Concept Unit (MCU) that reduces size, weight,
wiring requirements and power consumption.
