Cobham Avionics and Communications (AvComm) in Wichita, Kan., formerly the Aeroflex AvComm business unit, is introducing the ATC-5000NG NextGen ATC/DME test & measurement set for engineering development, design validation, manufacturing, and return-to-service test applications.
The ATC-5000NG is the replacement product for the legacy SDX-2000 and ATC-1400A/S-1403DL. The software-defined radio architecture supports more transponder RTCA DO-181E test capability than the legacy products did and has new capability needed to support the FAA NextGen test requirements, including ADS-B (RTCA DO-260B) and UAT (RTCA DO-282).
