The Book of Genesys

Indonesian Aerospace (PTDI) has delivered the first CN-235 aircraft equipped with the Genesys Aerosystems Avionics Suite to the Indonesian Navy for maritime patrol and additional naval missions.

The avionics suite comprises Electronic Flight Information System (EFIS) displays with embedded Flight Management System (FMS) and Class-A Terrain Avoidance and Warning System (TAWS), dual Air Data/Attitude/Heading Reference System (ADAHRS), dual Global Positioning System/Satellite-Based Augmentation System (GPS/SBAS) receivers, Genesys Digital Radio (GDR) integrated VHF/UHF software-defined digital radios, and Genesys’s S-TEC digital autopilot.

The CASA/IPTN CN-235 is a medium-range twin-engined transport aircraft developed jointly by CASA of Spain and Indonesian manufacturer IPTN. The aircraft is operated as both a regional airliner and military transport; its primary military roles include air-transport and aerial surveillance.

Genesys business unit director Nick Bogner stated: “Genesys is excited to partner with PTDI and the Indonesian Navy to support this important maritime aircraft with our state-of-the-art special-mission avionics. The Genesys avionics suite is specifically designed and certified for demanding military and paramilitary applications and the open architecture allows for an elegant and seamless integration of third-party special-mission equipment.”
