ACSS–a division of L-3–yesterday afternoon marked the production of its 10,000th TCAS (traffic alert and collision avoidance system), presenting the unit to Dassault Falcon. “We’re proud to celebrate this important milestone with one of our esteemed customers,” said Kris Ganase, president of L3’s Aviation Products Group. The TCAS 3000 is the standard collision avoidance system on board Dassault’s complete line of business jets.

About one third of the 10,000 ACSS TCAS units sold are installed on business jets, and ACSS said it has captured about 40 percent of the total market for TCAS on business jets. ACSS TCAS is standard equipment on all large-cabin Gulfstreams; the Cessna Citation X, XLS and Sovereign; Embraer Legacy 600; Bombardier Global 5000; Hawker Beechcraft Hawker 4000; and Bombardier Learjet 40, 40XR, 60 and 60XR.
