Cobham to upgrade T-6 ADS-B Out
Cobham Aerospace Connectivity has been selected by Scientific Research Corporation (SRC) to upgrade ADS-B Out capabilities on the US military’s T-6A trainer fleet, the company announced on 7 November.
SRC will retrofit over 500 aircraft and aircrew training devices with Cobham’s RMS 555 radio management system ADS-B Out control solution, which avoids the need to install additional transponder control display units and associated wiring.
The Beechcraft T-6A Texan II is a single-engine turboprop trainer aircraft used by the US Air Force for basic pilot training and combat systems officer training, and by the US Navy and US Marine Corp for primary and intermediate naval flight officer training.
