L-3 Aviation Products

L-3 AVIATION PRODUCTS announced that its Lynx NGT-9000 MultiLink
Surveillance System models received Technical Standard Order authorization from the Federal Aviation Administration. According to the company, the
Lynx NGT-9000 is the world's first touchscreen, dual-mode 1090 and 978 MHz
Mode S Extended Squitter transponder capable of displaying ADS-B traffic and
weather.
"We're thrilled to begin filling the backlog of orders we've received since
unveiling our Lynx product earlier this year," said LARRY RIDDLE, vice president of marketing and sales for business, regional and general aviation. "Lynx
customers run the gamut from operators of single-engine piston aircraft to operators of medium-size business jets."
The NGT-9000 is an autonomous unit, requiring only a GPS antenna for its
operation, and features an embedded WAAS/GPS position source, as well as
the option for L-3's NextGen Active Traffic enablement. The system has a highresolution display that serves as both a transponder screen and a multifunction
display with moving maps, weather, NOTAMs, TFRs and ADS-B traffic.
"Typically, these capabilities cost tens of thousands of dollars and require
multiple boxes," Riddle said. "Our Lynx NGT-9000 includes all of these capabilities in an affordable, single-box solution."
With an intuitive touchscreen display, the NGT-9000 is a form-factor replacement for existing transponders. It supports 1090 ES (Mode S Extended Squitter)
ADS-B Out and 1090 MHz and 978 MHz (UAT) ADS-B In, which enable ADS-B
traffic (ADS-B, ADS-R and TIS-B) and FIS-B data reception. The NGT-9000
also offers the flexibility to display traffic on the unit itself, as well as on other
panel-mounted avionics that use the popular ARINC 429, RS-232 or RS-422
protocols.
