The L3Harris T³CAS® Traffic Collision Avoidance System is an integrated communication and surveillance system that combines multiple, proven products into a single small, lightweight system.
The T³CAS® is an integrated communication and surveillance system that combines multiple, proven products into a single small, lightweight system for advanced safety and ADS-B In and Out functionality. The ultra-flexible T³CAS is a single LRU that can host any combination of these functions:
Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS)
Terrain Awareness Warning System (TAWS)
Mode S Transponder with ADS-B In/Out Capability
ADS-B In applications
T³CAS builds on proven ACSS TCAS II products that provide situational awareness and collision avoidance protection to more than 15,000 aircraft worldwide.
This Class A TAWS system is a safety enhancer, appropriate for any air transport, regional, business or military aircraft that provides pilots and crews with the appropriate amount of time needed to clear terrain with a greater margin to maneuver and avoid a Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) incident. The Terrain Advisory Line is a patented feature that indicates an impending alert, should the aircraft continue on its flight path.
Mode S transponders are certified to DO-260B standards, and meet the ADS-B Out mandates for impending airspace initiatives, including the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) NextGen and Europe’s SESAR. DO-260B enables transmission of ADS-B information about an aircraft’s position, speed and intent.
