CMC Earns FAA TSO On New Generation 24-Channel GPS

GPS-on-a-Card

CMC Electronics Inc. has received certification of its new, 24-channel Global Navigation System Sensor Approach (GNSSA) receiver to the functional requirements of TSO-C129a. This certification encompasses compliance of software development to DO-178B level B and of Complex Electronic Hardware development to DO-254 level B. This certification, the company tells us, "...is based on a unique approach that allowed CMC Electronics to obtain a TSO-on-a-card for its GPS receiver."

 Jim Close, President and CEO of CMC Electronics, stated, "The certification is a significant achievement because it positions CMC Electronics as the aviation GPS supplier of choice for all enroute and precision approach applications."

The new CMC Electronics' GPS receiver, known as the CMA-4024, is a 24-channel aviation-grade receiver with a growth path to full Wide Area Augmentation System/Space Based Augmentation System (WAAS/SBAS) and Local Area Augmentation System/Ground Based Augmentation System (LAAS/GBAS) precision approach and auto-land capability. The new GNSSA receiver is targeted at the air transport market. 

The company expects to certify versions of the GNSSA receiver for the business and regional aircraft, helicopter and general aviation markets next year. The CMA-4024 has been developed as a collaborative effort with NovAtel, CMC's subsidiary, and combines the respective technological strengths of both companies to develop the most advanced GPS receiver to meet the most demanding needs of civil aviation.
