L-3 Communications Will Integrate The Units In SAR
Helos
Esterline CMC Electronics (CMC) has been selected by L-3
Communications to supply the CMC TacView Portable Mission Display
to provide a Situational Awareness Data Link (SADL) solution for
U.S. Coast Guard MH-65 Dolphin helicopters.
The avionics grade TacView system will interface with the
aircraft tactical radios and GPS receiver to support L-3
Communications’ Joint Range Extension (JRE) data link gateway
and digital map application to display real-time situational
awareness and digital command and control to the aircrew. The
TacView portable mission display will be leg mounted for crew
convenience.
Mike Lawson, vice president, Advanced Technologies Department,
L-3 Communications, stated: “The JRE-Enabled TacView ... or
JET as we like to call it ... is a powerful system that provides
U.S. Coast Guard helicopter crews with an unprecedented capability
to reduce their workload, enhance their mission effectiveness and
increase aircrew safety.”
The TacView portable mission display is a compact,
self-contained computer and display system designed specifically to
enhance real-time, situational awareness for the aircrew. It is a
cost-effective, rapidly deployable COTS system with the processing
power and flexibility to enable numerous mission enhancing and
paperless cockpit applications. It provides the means to deploy
quickly new capability and functionality at a fraction of the time
and cost of an integrated approach.
The TacView system is flying on the U.S. Air National Guard
C-130H aircraft, as part of the Real-Time Information in the
Cockpit (RTIC) Program. TacView has been selected for installation
on a number of platforms, including the C-130H and C-130T, the
international C-130J and the USAF C-17.
