Thales’ Air Data Unit (ADU) 3208 has achieved European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certification, the company announced on 12 January.
The ADU 3208 has received European Technical Standard Order (ETSO) certification from EASA, automatically qualifying the product for Federal Aviation Administration certification under bilateral agreements between the two agencies.
With this certification, the product no longer needs to prove that it complies with the complementary requirements of each aircraft. As a result, it saves time during the certification process for commercial and military aircraft types.
The unit measures aerodynamic data to determine aircraft altitude and speed.
A helicopter version of the ADU 3208 is expected later this year.
The airborne three-domain, the two ground-based and the ¼ ATR OpenVPX-based cross-domain systems were engineered to provide real-time security across multi-domain operations.
DARPA’s Mission-Integrated Network Control (MINC) programme was set up to develop an autonomous tactical network and enable critical data flow in contested environments.
Why space is an essential part of modern military capabilities
Defence-secure mixed reality headsets can save hours, or even weeks, of travel time to fix defunct equipment or get subject experts effectively “on-site” where they are needed.
The Joint Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (JCREW) counter-improvised explosive device (C-IED) and Drone Restricted Access Using Known Electromagnetic Warfare (DRAKE) counter-UAS (CUAS) systems are mounted and dismounted RF jammers.
