FAA Approves Uavionix’s Airport Vehicle ADS-B Transmitter:
10 December 2019: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved Vehicle Tracking Unit (VTU-20) Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) transmitter of uAvionix.
The VTU -20 is used for airport surface management to ensures integration and interoperability with Airport Surface Detection Equipment, Model X (ASDE-X), Airport Surface Surveillance Capability (ASSC), and ADS-B receiver surveillance solutions for airport surface control and situational awareness.
Adhering to the performance and design assurance specifications of FAA-E-3032, the VTU-20 also implements FAA approved Squitter Transmission Maps to automatically enable transmission on airport movement areas and disable transmission in low risk areas or outside airport airside operations.
It can be permanently or magnetically mounted to all airside vehicles, including utility, emergency, snow-removal, and maintenance equipment. It also provides essential addition to any surface movement guidance and control system; thus, each vehicle is clearly and uniquely identified.
"Ground vehicle incursions into critical safety and movement areas is on the rise. With this achievement, uAvionix continues to promote safety and common situational awareness not only in the airspace but also on the airport surface," states Christian Ramsey, uAvionix President.
UAvionix is the designer and manufacturer of communications, navigation, and surveillance (CNS) equipment for unmanned and manned aircraft.
