Becker Avionics' DVCS6100 Digital Audio System was recently selected for the new University of Utah AirMed EC145 Air Medical helicopter. The aircraft is a replacement for an older twin-engine helicopter in AirMed's fleet. American Eurocopter in Texas recently delivered the helicopter to United Rotorcraft in Denver (a division of Air Methods Corp), where the aircraft will undergo final completion. Air Methods is also the operator of AirMed's fleet, a program which is celebrating it's 40th year of operation this year. The new helicopter will deliver to AirMed this Fall.
The DVCS6100 was chosen due to its unique ability to effectively manage and control all audio sources in the helicopter. Becker's Digital multi-channel audio and intercom system, with its software configurable profiles, provides the flexibility to specifically customize the system to meet the demanding operational requirements of AirMed's operation. The DVCS6100 manages all transceivers, receivers and audio warning sources in one central system and provides simulcast capabilities on 8 channels, along with a new radio relay feature.
Brett Gardner, Director of Sales and Marketing stated, "We are pleased that our DVCS6100 was chosen for AirMed's new EC145. The EC145 is a very capable and proven machine, and with the addition of our advanced digital airborne audio management system, it will enhance the customer's operational capability."
