Modification to TDR-94D Transponders and RTU-870 Radio Tuning Units
Overview
Introduction
The Mode S Elementary Surveillance (ELS) feature includes an eight-character aircraft identification parameter corresponding to that used in voice communications with air traffic services. This aircraft identification parameter, or Flight ID, is entered by a control device such as a radio tuning unit (RTU), control display unit (CDU) or dedicated transponder control unit (CTL). Enhanced surveillance (EHS) builds upon the concept of Elementary Surveillance and consists of the extraction of further aircraft parameters known as Downlink Airborne Parameters (DAPs). This facilitates an increase in the safety and efficiency of Air Traffic Management operations.
Your needs
As a part of the long-range plan to improve airspace capacity, safety and efficiency, European regulatory authorities have mandated the carriage and operation of Mode S transponders with Elementary and Enhanced Surveillance functionality.
