Cobham Aerospace has brought four separate divisions and a phalanx of helicopter avionics and satellite simulation equipment to Heli-Expo 2015. Represented in its booth are Cobham Aerospace Communications, Cobham AvComm (formerly Aeroflex), Cobham Antenna Systems and Cobham Life Support.
Cobham AvComm designs, manufactures, and supports avionics test systems for military and commercial fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft. On display at Heli-Expo this year are the ALT-8000 radio altimeter flight line test set and the GPSG-1000 portable satellite simulator. According to the company, “We are set up to demonstrate how these simulators can help operators and installers verify functions, such as TAWS, normally reserved for test flights, saving time and money in the hangar.”
Other products on view include Cobham’s audio and radio control display unit (ARCDU); Flexcomm tactical transceivers; digital audio control system (DACS); and AA95-1000TSO controller audio panel. The ARCDU is a single point-of-control for all aircraft audio and radio systems, saves space and weight, is compatible with civil and military radios and offers intuitive and easily configurable menu pages.
The Flexcomm line of tactical communication radios is designed for unparalleled performance in special-mission airspace. Flexcomm transceivers and control displays deliver maximum interoperability (29.7 to 960 MHz), P-25 on all voice bands and 10 watts of power across all bands for increased clarity and distance.
Cobham’s DACS manages as many as eight receivers and transceivers and is available in cockpit and cabin control configurations, while the AA95-1000TSO controller manages six transceivers, five receivers and six headphones.

News and issues regarding all manner of civil and military rotorcraft and their powerplants, including helicopters, tilt rotors and unmanned air vehicles.
