GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies Secures $3.6 Million Order from UK Ministry of Defence
(Archive News Story - Products mentioned in this Archive News Story may or may not be available from the manufacturer.)
The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) recently placed an order to the value of $3.6 million for an additional 110 Air Test Data Test Sets (ADTS) from GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies. The ADTS405 instruments will be used in military aircraft maintenance and flight checking in the Royal Air Force (RAF), the Royal Navy and the Army Air Corps and complement the 173 ADTS test sets already operated by the three branches of the armed forces throughout the world.
An ADTS405 test set is used for the precision calibration/verification of aircraft pitot-statics, enabling vital flight instrumentation such as altimeters, airspeed indicators, rate of climb indicators, mach meters and air data computers to be accurately tested. The test set used by the MoD has been designed for the rigors of military service. It has the higher EMC specification for this type of equipment complying with Def Stan 59-411, Part 3.
Essentially the ADTS 405, which is ATEX certified for Zone 2 operation, can perform on all platforms of aircraft the MoD operates. It offers high accuracy in a transportable militarized casing, with built-in pressure/vacuum supplies. The instrument is controlled by a remote hand terminal, so an operator can control the ADTS either outside the aircraft or in the cockpit. The test set can be configured to suit a wide range limits for both fixed or rotary wing aircraft.
