SOLID-STATE SYSTEMS

Product catalog summary

Introduction
Solid-state systems are crucial for providing accurate flight cues to pilots, enhancing flight safety by offering reliable reference information. These systems replace mechanical or electro-mechanical technology with digital technology, improving reliability and reducing operating costs.

Vertical Reference Systems (VRS)
The VRS-3000 and VRS-4000 are designed to outperform traditional spinning-mass vertical gyroscopes. The VRS-3000 is suitable for 115VAC platforms and is certified to RTCA DO-160D environmental standards. It provides accurate attitude and rate measurements and is compatible with both analog and solid-state indicators. The VRS-4000, a non-certified version, operates on 28VDC platforms. Both models can provide comprehensive flight data when paired with an Air Data Computer.

Electronic Standby Instrument Systems (ESIS)
The ESIS GH-3001 is tailored for military platforms, offering accurate flight data in a compact, NVG-compatible unit. The GH-series, including GH-3000 and GH-3100, combines essential flight cues in a single display, offering configuration flexibility to match primary EFIS displays. The GH-3100 integrates an air data sensor card, eliminating the need for a remote Air Data Computer.

Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicators (EHSI)
The EHSI-3000 and EHSI-4000 replace older electro-mechanical indicators with digital precision and solid-state reliability. The EHSI-4000 features a digital design with a flat panel display, providing comprehensive navigation information. The EHSI-3000 is designed for military environments, offering enhanced reliability and functionality.

System Specifications
The document provides detailed specifications for various systems, including weight, power requirements, software compliance, environmental characteristics, and interface capabilities. These systems are tested to meet various military and government standards, ensuring high reliability and performance in demanding environments.

Conclusion
L-3 Avionics Systems offers a range of solid-state products designed to enhance flight safety and reliability. These systems are suitable for various aircraft types, providing essential flight data with improved accuracy and reduced maintenance costs.
