The mobile transponders are based on state-of-the-art aviation technology and form the cornerstone in networked systems. CNS Systems offers mobile transponders for airborne and vehicle installation.
VDL 4000/GA
VDL 4000/GA is a multi-purpose data link designed to support the requirements of general aviation. The data link transponder provides ADS-B and supports other services, such as weather and traffic information, and has several interfaces to support a cockpit display of traffic information (CDTI).
The transponder is certified and delivered with an EASA Form 1 tag. This certification level allows the equipment to be used onboard aircraft for non-safety-critical applications.
The transponder allows pilots in the cockpit and air traffic controllers on the ground to "see" aircraft traffic with the highest possible precision. The core function is Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B), which is the enabling technology and vision for future air traffic management.
The VDL 4000/GA is designed to transmit, receive and decode ADS-B messages via a digital data link. It broadcasts the aircraft's position, velocity, projected track, altitude, and flight identification to other equipped aircraft in the vicinity, as well as to ground stations.
The transponders can operate autonomously outside the coverage of ground stations, whereas the addition of ground stations and a ground-based network provides increased functionality, capability and services.
The transponder supports services such that a complete gate-to-gate operation can be realised. The system supports departure clearance, en route, terminal, approach, landing, and surface movement, guidance and control operation. All aircraft equipped with the VDL4000/GA and operating within the ground station’s coverage area can benefit from receiving TIS-B traffic, FIS-B weather and other ATC information directly into the cockpit on a CDTI. DGNSS augmentation (GNS-B) for accurate surveillance and navigation is also handled by the transponder
