Flight Line Tester Designed To Improve Aircraft Safety Through Simulation

Textron Systems Electronic Systems has launched the newest member of Aircraft Survivability Equipment (ASE), the Integrated Tester for Aircraft Survivability Systems (ITASS).

ITASS is a flight line tester that is capable of providing stimulus to a multitude of aircraft survivability sensors, including radar warning receivers, two-color infrared (IR) missile warning systems, laser warning systems and UV missile warning systems. ITASS also includes a detector to verify IR countermeasure performance. ITASS is designed to offer a single unit integrated solution that combines the functionality of our popular Model 527 RF Radar Signal Simulator with the multi-spectral capabilities of our Multi-Spectral Test Set.

"We are excited to announce our latest advanced multi-spectral product that meets the growing needs of our customers," says Senior Vice President and General Manager Steve T. Mensh. "Our ITASS product provides reliable, repeatable field verification of installed aircraft survivability equipment, in a cost-effective, easy to operate single unit."
