Audio Panel To Be Integrated In Department's Bell 429
The Fairfax County Police Helicopter Division has selected
Becker Avionics’ DVCS6100 Digital Audio System for
integration into its new Bell 429 helicopter. Their new aircraft is
currently undergoing completion at Paradigm Aerospace Corporation
(PAC) in Mt. Pleasant, PA. The DVCS6100 was chosen by Fairfax
County PD due to its unique ability to effectively manage and
control all audio sources in the helicopter, to include the array
of tactical frequencies required by their mission. The DVCS6100
manages all transceivers, receivers and audio warning sources in
one central system and provides simulcast capabilities on 8
channels. Becker’s Digital multichannel audio and intercom
system, with its software configurable profiles, provides the
flexibility to specifically customize the system to meet the
demanding multi-role operational requirements of Fairfax County
PD.
Brett Gardner, Director of Sales and
Marketing at Becker Avionics, commented, "We are excited Fairfax
County Police selected our Digital Audio system for their new Bell
429 light-twin helicopter. Our DVCS product will significantly
enhance the air support mission capabilities of this aircraft -
we’re really looking forward to seeing it go into service by
the end of summer.”
The DVCS6100 design provides the customer with ability to match a
wide range of operational requirements with only one system. The
built-in scalability and flexibility reduces not only the cost and
time requirements for constant re-engineering and certification of
a tailored system solution, but also reduces the learning curve for
integration, maintenance and troubleshooting time. Through software
programming options, the system is both easily and quickly
configurable to individual operator requirements
