FreeFlight’s sensor selected for USAF’s HH-60G helicopters
FreeFlight Systems’ 1203C SBAS/GNSS sensor has been selected to provide ADS-B position source information as a part of an upcoming ADS-B modification and compliance programme for the US Air Force’s HH-60G helicopter fleet, the company announced on 30 July.
Strategic Enterprise Solutions of Warner Robins, Georgia was recently awarded the modification programme, which includes installation of the 1203C SBAS/GNSS sensor and the AN/APX-119 Mode S Extended Squitter transponder with Mode 5 capability to provide a complete ADS-B Out solution for more than 100 helicopters.
The FreeFlight Systems 1203C SBAS/GNSS sensor is a certified, high-integrity position source in a compact, lightweight package that has been designed to be modular and integratable with various other avionics.
The 1203C pairs seamlessly with certified Mode S Extended Squitter transponders for a fully rule-compliant ADS-B Out system.
With the ADS-B mandate now only 17 months away, aircraft operators need to prioritise ADS-B installations.
