DF-500 direction finder – AIRBORNE APPLICATIONS Greater accuracy for shorter searches, faster rescues and more lives saved. When it comes to airborne search-and-rescue (SAR) missions, saving time is often the difference between a rescue and a recovery. That’s why government, military and civilian SAR organizations are upgrading their aircraft’s direction-finder capabilities with Rockwell Collins’ DF-500 direction fi

Increase the odds that you’ll find them alive. Lightweight, compact and rugged, the DF-500 is a software defined radio specifically designed to be compatible with all SAR mission platform requirements. It can receive all current international distress frequencies, including 121.5 MHz, 243 MHz and COSPASSARSAT (406 MHz), as well as ARGOS, AIS and DSC encoded beacon signals. Rescuers will have the ability to pinpoint signals produced by a wide variety of civil and military emergency locator beacons in use around the world. The DF-500 can provide the bearing to a COSPAS-SARSAT as well as its beacon’s...
