FreeFlight Systems WAAS GPS Sensor Chosen For Alaskan ADS-B
Testing
The FAA will be using the FreeFlight Systems1203 WAAS GPS
receiver as part of the official ADS-B testing in Alaska, the
company said Monday. It will be joining its sister product, the
1201 WAAS GPS receiver, which has been successfully used in Alaska
since 2003 as part of the FAA Capstone Program.
The FreeFlight Systems 1203 WAAS GPS receiver is certified to
TSO-C145 requirements. The system provides position, velocity, and
time and is ideal for LNAV WAAS applications such as ADS-B. The
unit features Fault Detection and Exclusion for navigational
integrity and a twelve-channel receiver designed to be less
susceptible to comm radio interference and jamming.
"We are extremely honored to be selected by the FAA as a GNSS
supplier for this critical application," said Tim Taylor,
FreeFlight Systems President. "We are a huge supporter of ADS-B
technology, and are committed to providing the most cost-effective
ADS-B systems in support of the future of airspace management."
"We are very pleased that the installation and integration of
these systems was accomplished with very little fuss," adds Jamie
Luster, FreeFlight Systems Director, Sales and Marketing. "We
design our systems to be simple to install and operate."
The 1203 remote mount WAAS GPS with ARINC 429 capability is
available off the shelf and is compatible with most transponders.
FreeFlight Systems also offers the 1201 with RS-232 interface
capability.
