Avtech Receives Contract for Airborne Warning and Control System -- AWACS -- Block 40-45 Flight Deck Communications System.SEATTLE -- Avtech Corporation announced today that it has been selected by Boeing to provide a Flight Deck Communications System In telecommunication, a communications system is a collection of individual communications networks, transmission systems, relay stations, tributary stations, and data terminal equipment (DTE) usually capable of interconnection and interoperation to form an integrated whole. (FDCS FDCS Flight Data Communications Specialist (FAA) FDCS Flight Deck Communications System FDCS Flight Director Control School ) for the E-3 AWACS AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System) Mobile, long-range radar surveillance-and-control centre for air defense. Used by the U.S. Air Force since 1977, AWACS is mounted in a specially modified Boeing 707 aircraft, with its main radar antenna affixed to a rotating dome. Block 40-45 upgrade. The system will be comprised of an Audio Management Unit, Flight Deck Interface Unit and four Audio Control Panels. The system interfaces with an Audio Switching Unit (ASU ASU Arizona State University (Tempe, AZ) ASU Appalachian State University ASU Arkansas State University ASU Angelo State University ASU Alabama State University ASU Australian Services Union ) in the mission area of the aircraft facilitating flight deck-to-mission area communications. The new digital system replaces the legacy analog system and will use digital technology to process the audio signals. The system will provide superior signal-to-noise and crosstalk (1) Electromagnetic interference that comes from an adjacent wire. "Alien" crosstalk is interference that comes from a wire in an adjacent cable, for example, when two or more twisted wire pair cables are bundled together. performance compared to its' analog predecessor and is based upon Avtech's Boeing 777 digital system, standard aboard all B777 aircraft. Avtech Corporation, a business unit of Aviation Technologies Inc., is a world leader in flight deck communications. Avtech's audio systems are standard equipment aboard Boeing's 717, 737, 777 and optional equipment aboard the 767 aircraft. |
