ACSS, the Phoenix-based surveillance and reconnaissance technology division of L-3 Communications (Booth No. 4000), is at NBAA’09 showcasing a number of new developments. These include new TCAS II traffic and collision avoidance system software, selection of its latest TCAS II system by Embraer, enhanced terrain avoidance warning system (TAWS) functionality and progress in its SafeRoute terminal area guidance program.
Kris Ganase, ACSS president, said he is “cautiously optimistic” about prospects in the near future. “This has been a tough year for us. The business and regional markets have gone down at least 50 percent. When those guys hurt, we hurt, as well. We’re looking at some upturn in our business next year, not necessarily because the industry has recovered but because we’ll be introducing new products, new functions, which should bring some growth for us. The big thing is all the work we’ve done on SafeRoute and NextGen.
