5 Introduction
The uAvionix Vektor is an ICAO Annex 10/RTCA DO-260B compliant
Mode-S ES transponder designed specifically for installation and use on
vehicles operating inside an airfield and the aircraft movement area.
Installation is simple with included magnetic mounting hardware for
temporary or non-penetrating positions, or as a hard-mounted unit to the
vehicles roof structure. With a simple wiring harness that allows for
permanent connections to the vehicle 12VDC electrical system or via a
cigarette lighter adaptor for ease of portably, the unit can be installed and
configured in minutes on any commercial, industrial or military vehicle.
The Vektor provides improved visibility by controllers of the position of
vehicles at airfields equipped with multilateration, ADS-B and primary radar
systems by more accurately providing the position of the vehicle and the
identification/call sign on the controller’s surface display. Safety and
security are further improved when interfaced with the uAvionix pingStation
dual-band ADS-B receiver and situational awareness surface displays.
