Kannad Ultima-DT Emergency Locator Transmitter – Distress Tracker Orolia’s Kannad Ultima-DT is a crash survivable fixed Emergency Locator Transmitter – Distress Tracking type, designed to meet the ICAO GADSS ADT requirement which will be applicable in January 2023. Adaptable to any commercial aircraft, its trigger-inflight capability detects imminent distress situations and automatically sends a secure 406MHz distress signal, including the accurate aircraft position. Key Features • Compliant with the ADT regulation: Kannad Ultima-DT autonomously transmits information from which a position can be determined at least once every minute when in a distress condition. As part of the GADSS ADT requirements, the information containing the aircraft location is available to the relevant authorities such as traffic services and SAR Regional Coordination Centers. • Non-rechargeable lithium battery: Kannad Ultima-DT combines the latest generation of lithium battery technology and a smart design, which enables the unit to comply with the latest FAA / EASA lithium battery requirements (DO-227A & (E)TSO142b). Lithium batteries allow temporary operation at cold temperature (-40 °C). • Trigger-in-flight capability: Activation is triggered through the ARINC429 input as soon as the aircraft faces a distress condition. The Kannad Ultima-DT can also be activated manually with a cockpit remote control panel. If the distress condition is mitigated, a cancellation message is transmitted. • User’s accurate location: The beacon’s location is determined through its embedded GNSS receiver, using both GPS and Galileo satellite constellations for faster signal detection and robust position acquisition. • Return Link Service (RLS) - Distress signal acknowledgement to the user: Kannad Ultima-DT includes a distress acknowledgment capability based on Galileo Return Link Service (RLS), which provides a visual indicator to the user that the distress message has been successfully received on the ground. This capability is subjec
