Avionics Innovations Solves Communications Problem for AgustaWestland. Ramona, CA (August 15, 2008) — Avionics Innovations, Inc., has been selected by AgustaWestland to provide an innovative command communications solution involving its DMP-100NVG for use with AW101 and SuperLynx 300 helicopters in high-noise environments. Avionics Innovations’ DMP-100NVG, a night-vision compatible version of its popular DMP-100 cabin briefing system, plays back prerecorded versions of all necessary pilot commands, overcoming the problem of ambient noise on the flight deck overpowering the pilots’ microphones. A rugged unit that meets DO-160 environmental testing requirements and features EMI/RFI shielding to prevent interference with other aircraft systems, the DMP-100NVG is ideal for military applications. Easy to install, the DMP-100NVG enables operators to prepare flight briefings in MP3 format on a personal computer and transfer them via a removable Compact Flash™ memory card. The DMP-100NVG holds up to 10,000 different audio tracks and can import playlists from iTunes, WinAmp and other such applications. It also supports audio briefings in two languages simultaneously. |
Avionics Innovations’ ICE DVD/CD Player Meets Helo Spec. Ramona, CA (February 14, 2007)— Avionics Innovations, Inc., has announced that its remote-mounted, multi-region ICE DVD/CD/mp3 player has successfully met DO-160E vibration testing standards when vertically mounted, a breakthrough for use in helicopter environments. A long-standing unmet need among IFE players, vertical mounting places more stress on a playback unit’s tracking ability, but the rugged, high-reliability ICE system player passed all test procedures. Installed with a passenger control unit (PCU), the vibration-resistant playback unit offers helicopter operators another reason to specify Avionics Innovations’ ICE system. |
