Delivers 5,000th ADS-B Compliant Mode S Transponder In NXT-600/-700/-800 Family

ACSS, an L3 and Thales Company, has delivered the 5,000th production unit in its NXT-600/-700/-800 Mode S Transponder family. The NXT Mode S Transponders provide commercial and military aircraft and helicopters with the capabilities to operate in the Next-Generation Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B) airspace.

“This significant milestone demonstrates our proven industrial capabilities and the performance of the NXT transponder family in providing ADS-B Out compliant solutions,” said Terry Flaishans, President of ACSS. “NXTs have been delivered to operators worldwide since the beginning of production in 2014, helping them equip their aircraft and meet the ADS-B compliance mandate set forth by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and other regulatory bodies.”

With three options, the NXT Mode S Transponders meet the demands of air transport, regional and business jet aircraft, as well as those of helicopters, transmitting precise position, speed and intent data. The FAA ADS-B Out 2020 mandate requires all affected aircraft categories to be equipped with compliant Mode S transponders.
