Created to meet the unique demands of transport category aircraft, the GTX 3000 Mode S ES remote transponder features robust capabilities like ADS-B “Out” transmission and TCAS II/ACAS II compatibility.

Meet ADS-B “Out” Requirements

Certified to meet DO-260B/TSO C166b requirements, the GTX 3000 offers an affordable pathway to ADS-B “Out” compliance when installed alongside an approved SBAS/WAAS GPS position source, like certain Garmin flight decks or GTN series avionics. Using 1090 MHz extended squitter (ES) transmission, the GTX 3000 broadcasts details such as your accurate, GPS-calculated position, flight ID, altitude, velocity, climb/descent and heading information to ATC ground stations at the rate of once per second – far faster than traditional radar tracking. The net result is that ATC gets a far more accurate picture of what’s happening in the sky and allowing them to safely reduce separation minimums for more efficient flights.

Where ground stations are not yet capable of receiving extended squitter data, the GTX 3000 will still operate with traditional ATC protocols as a Mode A, C or S transponder.

Track and Be Tracked

With the GTX 3000, the flight data you broadcast to ATC ground stations is also broadcast to all nearby TAS or TCAS equipped aircraft. The TAS or TCAS system enables them to see a similar traffic picture as ATC, and providing all ADS-B equipped aircraft in the vicinity a level of redundant tracking.

When combined with a TCAS II/ACAS II traffic system like the Garmin GTS 8000, as well as a radar altimeter like the GRA 5500, the GTX 3000 is an integral part of a complete TCAS II/ACAS II solution. When your traffic system detects an immediate conflict, it will use your GTX 3000 to communicate with the conflict’s TCAS II/ACAS II system to determine the best course of action for both aircraft. Each pilot will then be given visual and aural Resolution Advisories (RAs) with separate but complimentary instructions. For example, one pilot may be told to climb while the other is told to descend.

 

High-integrity GPS Position Sensor

• Remote GPS SBAS/WAAS position source with ruggedized design meets requirements for commercial air transport, military, regional and business aircraft
• GPS 3000 is compatible with select flight management system (FMS) interfaces to support GPS guidance for terminal, en route and approach navigation
• Meets applicable ADS-B high-integrity position source standards, including DO-160, TSO-C145d Class 3 and DO-178B

Helping air transport, defense and business aircraft operators meet the demands of NextGen air traffic modernization initiatives around the globe, the GPS 3000 remote position sensor offers a robust system upgrade solution that can be integrated and interfaced with a wide variety of systems for reliable, high-integrity performance. 

Broad Integration Potential

GPS 3000 is a compact, remote-mount 15-channel GPS receiver (capable of 5 position updates per second) that uses enhanced WAAS/SBAS GPS satellite signals to provide ultra-precise, DO-260B compliant position data. It provides an ARINC 743A-5 GNSS interface over an industry-standard ARINC 429 data bus for those who wish to integrate GPS 3000 with existing avionics systems. When so configured, the GPS 3000 sensor can provide position source information to the FMS, meeting requirements for required navigation performance (RNP) and supporting GPS-based vertical approach capability for coupled LPV approaches and other NexGen flight applications¹. GPS 3000 will also support compatible TAWS, ADS-B and TCAS interfaces. When paired with a rule-compliant transponder such as our GTX^™ 3000, the GPS 3000 sensor can be used as a stand-alone position source to create a cost-effective, minimally invasive ADS-B “Out” solution with the flexibility to integrate with the existing aircraft navigation or FMS, as desired.

¹FMS must be capable of utilizing information provided by GPS 3000 to perform these operations
