Military And Research

Both the SBS-2 and SBS-2M provide reliability and stability in an economical system ideal for the military and research applications. The systems main features include:

• ASTERIX compliant data streams
• Signal strength measurement
• Easy to install and low power supply consumption
• Fully unattended operation of the systems
• Low costs for operation and maintenance all of which make them invaluable tools for research, development, analysis and bespoke applications.

The SBS-2 is designed to be used with OEM software applications but a special software display package called Obelix is available to provide a real-time virtual radar screen. Logging, reporting, database for research.

Kinetic's Lightweight Aviation SSR Transponder (L.A.S.T) range includes military versions which together with the SBS-2 and SBS-2M systems are suitable for research in many areas including:

• Investigation into technical, and operational aspects of ADS-B
• Use of ADS-B in non-radar airspace
• Ground to air and air to air surveillance
• Air to air ADS-B receivers
• ADS-B cockpit displays including cockpit display and traffic information (CDTI) technology and applications
• Standards for ADS-B
• Aircraft Separation Assistance Systems
• Effects of ADS-B in improving pilots awareness of their surroundings
• Effects of ADS-B in reducing hazards
• Situational Awareness
• Sense and Avoid applications

For military purposes specialist and bespoke solutions can be provided. Kinetic have developed specialist ultra-light technology for UAV use. This includes Mode-S/ADS-B receivers and transponders which are self-contained and battery-powered.
