BK117's Will Be Retrofit With Digital Audio System
The German Air Rescue organization DRF Luftrettung recently
selected Becker Avionics' DVCS6100 Digital Audio System for
integration into three BK117 helicopters. The aircraft are
currently undergoing retrofit modification at DRF Luftrettung's own
maintenance facility at its Operation-Center at
Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden airport.

The new Becker Avionics airborne
digital audio and intercom system will replace the existing legacy
analog audio systems and provide DRF Luftrettung with the
capability to tailor the system to their needs. DRF officials said
the DVCS6100 was chosen for its ability to effectively manage and
control all audio sources in the helicopter. 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 operational requirements
of the DRF Luftrettung. The DVCS6100 manages all transceivers,
receivers and audio warning sources in one central system and
provides simulcast capabilities on 8 channels.
"Becker's DVCS6100 had been selected as the optimal solution for
our rescue operation," said Jürgen Zoller, Director Technic
Operation of DRF Luftrettung. "The systems currently used are
limited in channel capacity and thus in usability. The solution is
Becker's DVCS6100 which allows the DRF Luftrettung to perform
simultaneous aircraft radio communication, both tactical as well as
satellite communication."
