VTU-20
Airport Vehicle ADS-B Transmitter.
Prevent vehicle runway incursions with the FAA-approved VTU-20. Broadcast surface vehicle movement in real-time to nearby aircraft, other operations vehicles, ATC, and airport management for enhanced situational awareness.
Easy Deployment
VTU-20’s innovative design ensures easy installation, integration and interoperability with Airport Surface Detection Equipment, Model X (ASDE-X), Airport Surface Surveillance Capability (ASSC), or ADS-B receiver surveillance solutions for airport surface control and situational awareness. The all-in-one external design includes a 20W Universal Access Transceiver (UAT) transmitter, internal FAA qualified Global Positioning System (GPS) and antennas. The all-weather housing includes magnetic and bolt-on installation options.
Applications
Equip VTU-20 on any airport operations vehicle for improved safety and situational awareness in airport movement areas.
Squitter Map Support
VTU-20 can intelligently transmit when traveling in airport movement areas and disable transmission in low-risk areas using FAA approved Squitter Transmission Maps. Squitter Transmission Maps, vehicle ID, and ICAO addresses are field configurable with a provided PC based tool.
Visualize Air and Ground Traffic
Enabling ground vehicles to transmit on ADS-B is just the beginning. ADS-B In equipped aircraft will immediately benefit and begin to see real-time surface movement. Take your airport operations even further with pingStation 3 by visualizing ADS-B air and ground traffic on 1090 and 978 UAT for optimal fleet management, runway incursion prevention, and enhanced situational awareness.
Add ADS-B In to Vehicles
Further enhance safety with an ADS-B IN Display in the vehicle cab. Sentry, SkyEcho 2 and pingUSB all provide low-cost display functionality to vehicle drivers and operators.
Note: Please check your countries radio license legislations. ADS-B out can require a permit to transmit on 978 Mhz.
